About this variety
Strawberry Florence will offer gardeners the option to extend their production of firm, high quality berries after Elsanta and other mid-season varieties have finished cropping. The berries have a regular conical shape, with firm skin and flesh and very good flavour. Fruit must be picked when fully coloured to achieve the best flavour. Florence is moderately resistant to powdery mildew and other fungal leaf diseases. The variety has also shown tolerance to vine weevil.
Strawberries are hardy plants that require a sunny posiiton to ripen the fruits. They are fast growing and can be grown in almost any soil. They are also popular in hanging baskets and containers. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced.
