Everbearing Strawberry
This wonderful plant is both highly ornamental and a prolific producer of tasty fruit on ever-bearing plants. The semi-double red flowers are gorgeous in their own right. Planting this strawberry in a container will show off the fruit to best effect, but it can also be grown in gardens.
Maintenance
To keep your Berried Treasure looking its best, you may need to do some light cleaning of spent flowers. Keeping the soil evenly moist and using a regular fertilization program will produce the most prolific berry crop.
Uses
The strawberry has one thousand and one uses–from headlining in a classic syrup, jam, ice cream or shortcake, to mingling with more boozy ingredients in a daiquiri or a bourbon smash. Find some of our select strawberry recipes below!
