Fragaria × ananassa 'Inova-Rosa' is an ornamental and fruit-bearing everbearing strawberry plant distinguished by its deep pink, highly decorative, and long-lasting flowers. This variety forms a compact and well-structured clump, ideal for cultivation in pots, planters, balcony boxes, or decorative flowerbeds. Its dark green deciduous foliage highlights the colorful flowers that appear continuously and effectively attract pollinating insects. The red fruits that follow are edible, juicy, and pleasant, adding a gourmet dimension to this plant with a strong visual impact. Well-suited to Quebec's climatic conditions, 'Inova-Rosa' prefers very bright exposure and rich, loose, well-drained soil. This cultivar is an excellent choice for combining aesthetics, biodiversity, and prolonged harvesting in small spaces.
