Charlotte Strawberry is a French hybrid between 'Mara De Bois' and 'Cal 19'. The berries are sweet, juicy, bold red, heart shaped, and have a distinctive candy-like flavour. Yum! Excellent fruit yield and productivity. The fruits are also highly fragrant.
Keep in full sun and moist to increase fruit yield but do not over water. This is a day neutral strawberry, which produces fruit independent of daylight but dependent on temperature (above 0˚C), thus they provide a continuous crop from late spring to the first frost. Day-neutral varieties also produce less runners so are easier to maintain in small area or planter.
