Fragaria BERRIED TREASURE® Red Ornamental and Edible Everbearing Strawberry

Common Name: Ornamental and Edible Everbearing Strawberry

These everbearing strawberries from ABZ Seeds are best shown off in containers to show off their snack-sized, highly flavorful fruit. These strawberries have restrained runners, which make growing them in containers easy, although they will do just as well in the landscape. Since these are day length neutral, you can enjoy their semi-double flowers in addition to their tasty fruit.

BERRIED TREASURE™ was bred for patio pots and it thrives when grown in rich, evenly moist, well-drained potting soil and full sun. It produces few to no runners like regular strawberries.

If you prefer to plant BERRIED TREASURE™ Fragaria in the ground, it is best planted in early spring. Do not plant it where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, or okra were planted the previous year. There is a disease that sometimes attacks these plants that will also attack strawberries.

When planting, make sure that the roots are spread apart, and not tightly packed in a small hole. Because strawberries have shallow roots, they should be fertilized during the growing season.
