Everbearing Strawberries flower and fruit in a staggered pattern for much of the year, from spring through autumn, offering repeated fresh harvests instead of a single concentrated crop as in single-crop varieties.
Its botanical name is Fragaria x ananassa, belonging to the Rosaceae family. It is a small perennial shrub, about 15-20 cm tall, with basal trifoliate leaves in bright green supported by thin stems.
Five-petaled white flowers appear continuously from April to October, followed by abundant fruiting: the red false fruits, dotted with small seeds, have sweet, fragrant flesh.
Sowing is done in a protected seedbed between late winter and early spring, keeping the substrate consistently moist until germination. Outdoor transplanting occurs once the seedlings have developed a few true leaves.
It prefers soft, cool soil rich in organic matter, in a sunny or partly shaded position. It adapts very well to both open-ground cultivation and pots or window boxes, provided the substrate is well drained.
With temperatures between 15°C and 35°C the plant keeps producing steadily; harvesting should be done every 2-5 days, more frequently during hotter periods.
Mulching the soil is recommended to protect the fruit from direct contact with the ground and keep moisture constant. Periodically removing excess runners helps concentrate the plant's energy on fruit production.
Like other strawberries, it can be subject to attacks by aphids, mites and slugs, as well as grey mold (Botrytis) in excessively humid conditions. Good air circulation between plants and proper mulching help prevent fungal infections.
Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber, the everbearing strawberry generally has a delicate flavor and intense aroma, appreciated both fresh and in jams and desserts.
