Home-grown strawberries straight from your home garden are delicious – but sometimes it seems like the harvest season is not long enough! Luckily, there are some strawberry varieties that are everbearing (which means that they produce two crops: one in summer and one in fall!)
So, which strawberry plants are everbearing? Everbearing strawberry plants include: Albion, Charlotte, Eversweet, Festival, Fort Laramie, Ogallala, Ozark Beauty, Quinault, Seascape, Tribute, Tristar, and White Pineberry. Dates for 1st & 2nd harvest differs between varieties, so if you choose wisely you can get strawberries for months in row!
Of course, everbearing strawberry plants still need the same care as any other strawberry plant.
