Fresca' is a seed-grown, runnerless, everbearing cultivar which produces flavorful, medium-sized fruit from early summer until fall (with a pause during hot weather). Like most garden strawberries, it has attractive, toothed, three-lobed leaves. Seeds are very tiny.
Exploding with flavour when picked fresh from the garden, this heavy cropping strawberry produces delicious deep red fruit of medium size from late summer into autumn. Easy to grow and great for beginner gardeners. Suited to pots or garden beds.
'Fresca' likes ample sun and fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Start it indoors in winter for early first-season bloom. It is a good choice for culinary gardens, containers, or "strawberry towers".
