Cardinal Strawberry, 4" Pot Live Plant

June bearing variety with very large, sweet fruits, high yield and hardy once established. Best time to pick is when the very tip of the fruit has turned red. Bred for tolerating humid summers, Cardinal has resistance to leaf scorch, leaf spot, and powdery mildew. The berries are very large, red (sometimes a very slight green tip), firm, and very sweet. Cardinal runners heavily, so be sure to keep them trimmed to prevent overcrowding of the bed. This cultivar has a long picking season, with berries ripening over a longer period of time (can be up to 4-5 weeks on mature plants) than most other June-types. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun. You will receive 10 large healthy root starts.

For best results keep your planting area weed free and water regularly.
