Fragaria × ananassa ‘Eversweet’ is a day-neutral strawberry plant prized for its continuous production and sweet, well-balanced flavor. It forms a compact, vigorous clump, ideal for growing in the ground, raised beds, or pots. From early summer until the first frosts, it regularly produces medium-sized, bright red fruits with juicy, sweet, low-acid flesh, excellent for fresh consumption. Its deciduous dark green foliage is accompanied by sustained white blossoms throughout the season, ensuring extended harvests. More heat-tolerant than many day-neutral varieties, ‘Eversweet’ performs well in various conditions. Well-suited to Quebec gardens with rich, well-drained soil, it is an excellent choice for those seeking a productive, flavorful, and easy-to-grow strawberry plant.
