Type

Family
Rosaceae

Fragaria × ananassa 'Malwina' is a late-season, June-bearing strawberry known for the exceptional flavor and very dark color of its fruits. This variety develops a vigorous and well-structured clump, ideal for outdoor cultivation in the vegetable garden. Its late spring white flowering is followed by a concentrated production of large, dark red to purple strawberries with firm, very sweet, and intensely aromatic flesh. The dense, robust, dark green deciduous foliage effectively protects the fruits and contributes to the plant's overall vigor. Well-suited to Quebec's climatic conditions, 'Malwina' is appreciated for extending the harvest season after early and mid-season varieties. It prefers a sunny exposure and rich, loose, well-drained soil to fully express its taste potential.
