Introduction to the Strawberry Varieties Page
If you have decided to plant strawberries and need help sorting through the myriad of strawberry varieties to pick the right one for you, you’ve come to the right spot! Ever since the Garden Strawberry began to dominate the commercial strawberry industry (see the history section on the Strawberry Plant page for more details), a concerted effort to breed a better strawberry has occurred. Organizations in North America, Europe, and Australia have led the charge. As a result, new and improved strawberry varieties are developed and released almost yearly.
So, which strawberry variety is right for you, your needs, your location? Of course, it depends on several factors. This page is designed to help you consider all your options and pick one or more strawberry varieties that will perform well for you. If you have already settled on a variety, compare prices for your chosen cultivar at the Buy Strawberry Plants page. You can also find a directory of plant suppliers at our Strawberry Plants for Sale page. Or, you can find strawberry seed suppliers at our Strawberry Seeds page. Whichever strawberry varieties you select, be sure to reference the Growing Strawberries page for help maximizing your strawberry yield!

How the Strawberry Varieties Page Works
This main Strawberry Varieties page serves as a hub for everything related to individual strawberry varieties. The heart of this page is the List of Strawberry Varieties / Cultivars below. You can sort it according to each of the categories to better find exactly which strawberry variety will work best for you and your strawberry growing desires. Prior to the List of Strawberry Varieties / Cultivars table, a brief explanation of the three strawberry types will provide some background information as you select which strawberry type and variety is right for you. If you have no idea which strawberry variety (or varieties) is appropriate for your location, the list of recommended strawberry cultivars for each state will help guide you.
New strawberry varieties are constantly being bred and released. So, the links at the bottom of this page will be updated regularly with new information and links. And, feel free to use the comments or the form on the About page to contact us with questions or remarks.
List of Strawberry Types
Prior to browsing our table of strawberry varieties, it is important to review the three types of strawberries. Strawberry plants can be either June-bearing (June bearing), everbearing (ever-bearing), or day-neutral (day neutral).
June-bearing strawberry varieties:
Any list of strawberry varieties will probably contain more June-bearing strawberry varieties than any other. June bearers are tremendously popular and common. They typically produce the largest strawberries, and do so over a period of two to three weeks, on average. Most June bearing strawberry varieties produce a harvest around the month of June, hence the name. However, strawberry varieties are further classified into Early Season, Midseason, and Late Season. By selecting strawberry plant varieties that produce during different parts of the season, you can prolong your harvest and enjoy fresh strawberries for an extended period of time. June bearing strawberries are most often of the Garden Strawberry variety (Fragaria x ananassa). June bearing strawberries are often planted using the matted row system.
For reference, each of the June bearing strawberry types generally sets fruit for a total of 10 to 14 days. Early Season strawberry varieties usually begin fruiting in late spring. Early Midseason strawberry varieties begin fruiting about 5 days after Early Season varieties. Midseason strawberry varieties begin producing approximately 8 days after Early Season varieties. Late Midseason strawberry varieties begin fruiting about 10 days after Early Season varieties, and Late Season strawberry varieties begin their berry production about 14 days after the Early Season varieties.
Everbearing strawberry varieties:
Everbearing strawberries aren’t really “everbearing.” They generally produce two harvests per year: one in the spring and another in the late summer or fall. Under ideal conditions, it is possible for some everbearing varieties to produce three berry harvests. Most everbearing strawberry types are also Fragaria x ananassa hybrids, but some are of the species Fragaria vesca. In general, everbearing varieties put out less runners than the June bearing varieties, as most of the plant’s productive energy is directed toward producing multiple strawberry harvests. Everbearing strawberries are often planted using the hill system or in locations where space is limited. If you want to learn more about growing everbearing strawberries, take a look at our guide on how to grow everbearing strawberries.
Day-neutral strawberry varieties:
Day neutral strawberry plants are unique. Unlike June bearing varieties, day neutral strawberries will produce a good yield in the first year they are planted. They flower and set strawberries whenever the temperature is between 35 and 85 degrees. They will still be producing fruit in October during milder years. The drawback to day neutral strawberry plants is that they produce smaller strawberries than do the June bearing and everbearing strawberry varieties. Their fruit is usually small to medium in size, rarely exceeding one inch. Day neutral strawberry varieties are often planted using the hill system or in locations where space is limited.
Recommended Strawberry Varieties for Each State (or Province/Territory)
There are hundreds of different strawberry cultivars. Each one performs differently depending on the climate and conditions in which it is grown. To maximize strawberry production, it is important to choose a variety that is well-suited to your growing region. If you don’t already know which specific strawberry cultivars are a good choice for your state, you can find out by viewing the Recommended Strawberry Varieties by State (U.S.A.) or by viewing the Recommended Strawberry Varieties by Province or Territory (Canada).

Mr Strawberry,
Please could you help? I have a friend who has asked me if I have ever come across the old variety of strawberry Hen-L? It was as far as he knows grown in the east of England by the farmers markets which often supplied the markets in London in approximately the 50’s/60’s.
I wonder if it has now disappeared but has been bred into a more modern variety?
Thank you

Thank you!

Mr. Strawberry,
I have heard they have many very delicious varieties of Strawberrries in Japan. I was recommended Ookimi, Toukun, Benihoppe/Red Cheeks by a japanese relative. There are many more too, I understand. Is there anyway to order some of these varieties in the USA. Thank You
John
I don’t know these varieties of Japanese strawberries, but I have tested other varieties such as Tochiotome, Akihime and Sachinoka. For me in hydroponics, Akihime is the most resistant to diseases and its fruit is very sweet.

I am having a pretty severe problem with Lygus bugs on my strawberries. I think its lygus bugs. All the deformed pictures looks exactly like my plants. The plants themselves look very healthy. This is there 3rd year. And they have blossoms all over them. Everbearing plants. Will my plants recover next year? How about all the runners that have been planted? I hate to think I have to get all new plants.
I posted this before but I don’t see it on your page.

Camino Real as other short-day strawberry cultivars produces fruit over an extended period when treated appropriately in arid, Subtropical climates. The production pattern for “Camino Real is similar to that of the ‘Camarosa cultivar U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,708), although it is somewhat later to initiate fruiting with most cultural treatments. “Camino Real will be of special interest for winter plantings where the ‘Camarosa cultivar has been Successful, and in Summer plantings where the Pajaro cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,538) and the “Chandler cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,262) have been successful.

Mr. Strawberry
John,
Unfortunately, I don’t know of any online retailers that are still selling Douglas plants. The ones that are available can be found here. You may want to check with your local Ag Extension agent to see if there are any sold locally. Good luck!
Chitvan
I have two strawberry plants not sure about variety. It is producing fruits now in November in india while temperature is about 30’C in day and 23′ at night.But my Problem is that it is not Producing Any Runners. Why and what should i do?
Mr. Strawberry
Chitvan,
I would just give them some time. Typically, the runners will be produced after the end of the strawberry production. Good luck!
Kailash
Hi runners are produced after fruiting stops.Most probably u have Chandler or Camarosa vrty
Ash
Hi,
I’m in India in southern most part. the temperature is around 25 to 30 degree celcius. What variety of strawberry suits here. I would like to cultivate them using hydroponics and aquaponics. can u name varieties that are evergrowing !!
Mr. Strawberry
Ash,
I would recommend contacting a local expert who can help you with your set-up and variety selection. Two of the most popular day-neutral varieties used in hydroponic systems in the USA are Tribute and Tristar. Good luck!
Kailash
camarosa will do better.

Plougastel is a small village, close to Brest in the far west of France. Fraise de Plougastel is a brand name. The varieties they grow are mainly Gariguette in early spring and Mara des Bois in summertime. Both varieties are propagated by runners, not by seed.
Edward Stroble
I am looking for seeds to grow Fraises de plougastel strawberrys my son was in France last summer and said these were the best strawberries he had ever tasted
Mr. Strawberry
Edward Stroble,
Unfortunately, I do not know of any U.S.-based retailers who sell either seeds or plants of that variety. You may want to see if the seeds can be shipped to the U.S. from France, if they will grow true from seed. Good luck!
zhang
hi, in your variety introduction why not we fould like albion/ monterey /san andreas varieties? i am in china and these varieties are very popular here.
thanks,

Thanks for the comment. There are several varieties that aren’t in the list. I’ll attempt to update it when I get some time to do so. Good luck!
Ali
Hi,
I’m interested in Strawberry varieties which most suitable for growing in midle east Yemen
We have been growing them throughout the whole year but the yield is always sqishy
At first day after plucking they are perfect but one day later they soften out
so i was thinking if other varities can maintain tougher yield
the temp. these days is less than 30 f or 0 c
thanks for your feedback
Mr. Strawberry
Ali,
The strawberry breeding programs in the United States have spent many years trying to prevent that squishiness you are referencing without sacrificing the quality of the berries. And, in large part, they have succeeded. The major cultivars grown in the USA are much more resistant to bruising and were bred so that they could stand up to shipping across the country (or to other countries) as well. The major issue you would have, however, is getting those varieties into Yemen. There are a lot of restrictions on living plants exiting the USA and entering through customs of a receiving nation. I’d recommend starting by contacting your customs office to see what is required, or if receiving living strawberry plants is even allowed. If it is, the next step would be to contact some of the suppliers of the firmer varieties here (or from a different country) to see what would be involved with having them ship to you. Good luck!
Ajith
Hallo, I would ask what variety you think is appropriate for a warm climate.
We would like to start growing strawberries in Sri lanka (South Asia) daytime temperatures throughout the year 17c and 23c.How can i take growing plants from USA.
Thank you.
Mr. Strawberry
Ajith,
Unfortunately, strawberry plants don’t typically do well in continually hot and humid climates. They are temperate by nature. As to getting strawberry plants from the USA, you would need to check with your national customs officials to see if it is permissible. Most of the time, live plant shipments are difficult to get through customs. Good luck!
George
Hallo, I would ask what variety you think is appropriate for a warm climate.
We would like to start growing strawberries in Uganda (Africa) daytime temperatures throughout the year 78F and 61F night
Thanks, Jiří Šupík (George), Czech republik
Mr. Strawberry
George,
You might want to try Chandler or Surecrop, if you can obtain the plants. Good luck!
Paul
I am looking to assist strawberry growers in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The only varieties currently available are old and produce very small fruit which quickly turns to soft mush (not helped by the very difficult road conditions). There are excellent market opportunities here in PNG which we are already in contact with.
Altitude is 1800-2,200 metres (5,900-7,200 ft) and temperatures throughout the year are in the range of 12-26C (54-79F). Day length is consistent throughout the year at 11.5 hrs per day.
Any suggestions for suitable varieties?
Mr. Strawberry
Paul,
Most strawberries will do reasonably well in that temperature range. Local pathogens may affect them, but starting with any of the well-established and disease resistant varieties would be a good idea. The most difficult problem you may face is getting them shipped there. The varieties that grow true from seed will have smaller berries and will be less commercially viable. Starting with plants is likely your best bet. Depending on your customs officials and policies, you might be able to order them from Australia or Japan more easily than the U.S. Good luck!
James Williams
Do you know of any successful hydroponic strawberry farms I can contact for information?
Mr. Strawberry
James Williams,
You can contact any of the farms on the Pick Your Own page. Check the Florida farms as several of those are hydroponic. Good luck!
Shawn
Hey Mr. Strawberry
I’m trying to figure out which varieties of berry were likely grown in northwest Washington (Whatcom County) in the mid/late 1970’s. As you likely can guess, I have memories from my childhood of strawberries that taste like strawberries while, most of what I can get today seem to be grown for shelf life rather than that intense flavor I recall. While I recognize that part of my memory is likely the sensitivity of my own taste buds when I was a child, I’m also convinced part of it is the berries.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide and for all the work on this great site – It’s quite a resource!!
Mr. Strawberry
Shawn,
Shelf-life, yield, and disease resistance are all important to the commercial strawberry industry (as well as taste!). But, there has been a constant release of new varieties over the years. To find the information you seek, the best option would be to call the local agricultural extension agent in your area and ask if they have old records from which the information could be gleaned. And, thanks for the kind words! Good luck!
Larry Mount
I am a comercial fresh market grower in Whatcom county (Ferndale) I think the variety you are remebering is probably the Shuksan.They have that great strawberry smell and taste while being red all the way thru the berry.The main drawback is they have about 10 minutes shelf life and after over 40 yrs of propagation they have became harder to grow.(less desease resistant than newer varieties.)
David Castillo
Mr. Strawberry
I’m interested in marketing Mexican grown strawberries for the Canadian market, specifically Ontario. The strawberries that are offered in Mexico are “Festival” wonder if you think this variety will last the 5-6 day transition + 5-6 days in the self? thanks in advance.
Mr. Strawberry
David Castillo,
10-12 days is likely too long for any strawberry to reliably maintain its consumer appeal. You’d likely have the decay process already well underway by the time the berries made it to the shelves making consumers not likely to purchase or eat them. Good luck!
Kaleigh
I was wanting to grow some alpine strawberries.. I was interested in Baron solemacher and also Attila both are fragaria vesca.. I was wondering if I grow both are they gonna cross? If I understand correctly they are self fertile so I would assume not but I can’t find anything about crossing between vesca.. I want them to not cross so I can replant with seeds.. I know about the crossing of the Chilean variety but I assumed it is because it is not self fertile… Thanks for any help..
Mr. Strawberry
Kaleigh,
As both are Fragaria vesca, a cross-pollinated seed would still grow a F. vesca plant. Spreading the plants out can minimize the possibility of cross-pollination, however, if you are sure you’d like to keep the varietal purity intact. Good luck!
OL Wee
Hello to all the strawberry lover. Can I plant the strawbery from seeds at Zone 11?
Thanks
Mr. Strawberry
OL Wee,
Yes, you can plant them and may even have a few germinate. However, Zone 11 is NOT conducive to growing strawberry plants. The heat will probably be a problem, and the humidity in most Zone 11 areas also tends to allow infections to damage your plants. If you try, however, good luck!
Wayne Jenkins
Dear Mr. Strawberry,
Once again, the nurseries I’ve used in the past have quit selling Northeaster strawberries and I can’t find them anywhere. Please advise if you know of a grower that still sells them. Do you know why they’ve fallen out of favor? I may be left with no choice but to propagate them from my old rows.
Thanks so much,
Wayne
Mr. Strawberry
Wayne Jenkins,
I’m not sure why they have fallen out of favor, but I believe you can still get them from USA Seed Store. Good luck!
Louise
Can I get white strawberry plants or seeds in Australia?
Mr. Strawberry
Louise,
These are all of the suppliers for strawberry seeds and strawberry plants of which I am aware. Many of the white alpine varieties could probably be shipped to you in seed form, if your customs allows it. Good luck!
José Álvaro Assis Lopes
I live in Portugal (near Lisbon) and I intend to start a commercial plant using hydroponics in greenhouses (NFT or substrate) will you be so kind to suggest me the best strawberry varieties to use (everbearing).
Regards
José
Mr. Strawberry
José Álvaro Assis Lopes,
Many hydroponic growers prefer the day-neutral varieties over the everbearing typed due to continuity of production. I’d look into day-neutrals; Tribute and Tristar are two popular ones. Good luck!
carole
What type off strawberrys grow well in Barbados
Mr. Strawberry
carole,
Unfortunately, tropical areas aren’t usually the best for growing strawberries. However, the trade winds that moderate the temperature in Barbados from December through June may make it possible to grow strawberry plants successfully there. If you can get them, I’d try the Chandler variety, which is a June-bearing variety. You’ll need to pay special attention to watering them since it is often dry there during the growing season. Good luck!
Nick
Hi is their away of finding out what type of strawberries I have growing in my garden, as they are from the previous owner
Mr. Strawberry
Nick,
Unfortunately, there is no practical way of determining that. I’m sorry!
