Strawberry, botanically known as Fragaria, is a low-growing, herbaceous hybrid perennial of cultivated origin. Popularly grown in home edible gardens around the world for its delicious fruit. Plants will spread over time by above-ground runners that root, forming new plants that increase yield and harvest annually. Plants produce five-petaled blooms that mature into fruit. With the high cost of produce in the markets, why not simply grow your own in your own backyard. You'll have fresher, healthier produce. Improve your health and save money!
About this Variety
Eclair is a junebearing strawberry variety which, as the name suggests, produces one crop of fruit per year, typically in June. Junebearers are sensitive to the number of light hours and send out runners as the day length increases. Junebearing strawberries are normally larger than the berries produced by everbearing or day-neutral plants. Eclair's fruit is deep red on the exterior, with a lighter red interior. It has a rich, sweet flavor with some tartness. Its texture is firm, yet juicy, with a strong fragrance adding to the appeal. Eclair is a vigorous variety, easy to grow, has good disease resistance, and is adaptable to a wide range of growing conditions.
