Notes
'Eversweet' strawberry (Fragaria ananassa 'Eversweet') is a fruit plant grown for fresh eating, container growing, and the food garden. 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 an everbearing type, so it gives a first crop in spring and keeps producing in six week intervals until fall. The flowers attract bees, and the plant has good disease resistance and great flavor.
Pairs well with Joan J raspberry, Genovese basil, and Wild leek.
