Fragaria × ananassa 'Charlotte' is a perpetual strawberry plant highly valued for its exceptional flavor, often compared to that of wild strawberries, and for its extended production throughout the season. It forms a compact and vigorous clump, well-suited for cultivation in the ground, in pots, or in raised beds. From late spring until the first frosts, it regularly produces bright red, medium-sized fruits with tender, very fragrant, and intensely sweet flesh. Its healthy dark green deciduous foliage supports continuous white blossoms, promoting a prolonged harvest. Well-suited to Quebec conditions with adequate winter protection, 'Charlotte' is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a gourmet, productive, and ornamental strawberry plant.
