Strawberry ‘Yambu’

Strawberry ‘Yambu’ (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Yambu’). Fragaria × ananassa ‘Yambu’ is a remontant ornamental and fruiting strawberry, valued for its abundant deep pink blooms and highly decorative appearance. This variety forms a compact, well-proportioned clump, ideal for pots, planters, window boxes, and decorative edible arrangements. Its dark green deciduous foliage highlights the colorful flowers that renew throughout the season and attract pollinating insects. The subsequent fruits complement the plant's appeal without being its primary objective, offering a moderate harvest suitable for small spaces.

To plant ‘Yambu’ strawberry, choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, loose, and well-drained. Keep the crown of the strawberry at soil level: if buried too deep, it can rot; if too exposed, it risks drying out. Keep the fruits clean with appropriate mulch and monitor runners to control row density. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the crown clear.

Allow a width of 30–35 cm (12–14 in) to arrange this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 20–25 cm (8–10 in) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water requirements are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
