Notes
'Elan' strawberry (Fragaria ananassa 'Elan') is a fruit for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. It is a day-neutral strawberry, so it suits a field or a container. White flowers open from early to late spring and attract bees.
Pairs well with Genovese basil, Bouquet dill, and Southern Comfort coral bells.
