Botanical name*Fragaria × ananassa*

Fragaria × ananassa ‘Kent’ is a June-bearing strawberry that is very popular in Quebec for its remarkable hardiness and consistent production quality. This variety forms a vigorous and well-established clump, particularly suited for cultivation in the ground in a vegetable garden or in fruit rows. Its white spring blossoms are followed by an abundant and concentrated harvest of large, attractive red strawberries, known for their tender, juicy, and sweet flesh. The dark green deciduous foliage effectively protects the fruits and supports the plant's overall vigor. Very well adapted to cold climates, ‘Kent’ offers excellent reliability year after year. It prefers a sunny exposure and rich, loose, well-drained soil, making it a reliable choice for gardeners seeking yield, flavor, and robustness.
