This variety is self pollinating.
In many cases, you may still want to plant pollinating partners to increase the size of your crops, but with self-pollinating varieties doing so is optional. You’ll get fruit with only one plant!
How do I find my Hardiness Zone?
Canada’s Plant Hardiness Zones will tell you which plants will do well in your particular climate. Each zone is determined by the lowest average winter temperature recorded in a given area.

Friuited in May. I didn’t pluck first year flowers so crop is now slowing down. Delicious tasting strawberries. Did well overwintering.

I’ll be completely upfront with you. I’m a gardening amateur.I purchased one package of these strawberry starts, hoping to get at least a few plants to survive and produce. That’s all I figured I’d need for our household.I planted them in a Hugelkulture bed, last spring. Of the 25 bare root plants set down, several keeled over right off the bat. Figured it was just my bad luck/inexperience. So, headed into winter with 17-18 survivors, some of which set out a few runners. Of those, 11 came back with the sort-of thaw… Zone6A, west Michigan, by the way. The fall runners, I separated and transplanted, not expecting much. And to my surprise, they immediately began to set out runners, too.Two months on, and they’re now ALL EXPLODING in my planting bed! Hanging heavy with so many pre-ripe berries, I’m astonished! There are more runners than I can count, coming from parent plants so thickly massed, I can’t even tell how many THEY number. I could never have expected this. They are utterly prolific! And I haven’t even used a fertilizer.I would definitely recommend this strawberry variety. Just make sure you have the ability to keep up with them!

I’m sorry to say my strawberries have not done well. When I received them they were dried up and dead looking (I ordered them late in the season). I soaked and planted them anyway, but none of the plants grew. I did receive replacement plants this spring. Sadly, only a few of them grew. There was no sign of growth on most of the plants. I ended up buying plants from the big box store. Those did much better. I have planted bare root strawberries successfully in the past and I’m certain I planted them correctly. I do appreciate Stark replacing my plants, unfortunately the replacements were little better. This is the first time I have had a bad experience with Stark plants.
JAMES JENKINS –
Excellent strong plants received. First year I let them get over ran with weeds, but they survived that, and are now stronger than ever. Berry’s are delicious.
joseph roy –
Thriving and bearing lots of fruit but they aren’t sweet.
Melanie Ford –
This is the second year and the plants have only produced 2 small strawberries. Maybe I expected to much.
JOHN CZERNIAKOWSKI –
My new plants are growing nicely any hoping for a fine crop of strawberries!

THE ONES I PLANTED LAST SUMMER ARE LOOKING GOOD AND PUTTING OUT A FEW BERRIES. NEXT YEAR WITH THE ONES I PLANTED THIS YEAR MY PATCH SHOULD PUT OUT SOME NICE BERRIES .DO YOU HANE TO COVER THEM IN THE WINTER?
Victoria Fultz –
Would definitely reccomend these! We planted ours last fall and now its summer and we get a bucket full of berries every 2-3 days. Saved us a ton of money on buying strawberries. They are very sweet and delicious too, better than anything from the store for sure.
