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
Fort Laramie is an everbearing strawberry variety which, as the name suggests, produces a first crop in spring and then subsequent crops at several week intervals throughout the summer well into fall. Everbearers are not sensitive to the length of day. This makes them desirable for gardeners who seek a supply of berries over a longer season instead of all at once. Fort Laramie is well known for its cold hardiness, making them an ideal choice for northern gardeners. Fort Laramie is easy to grow with excellent fruit characteristics. It is vigorous and produces a high number of runners and flowers that contribute to an excellent yield.
