Types of plants available for this variety
The dormant bare-root plant (frigo plant) is mainly intended for open-field planting in plasticulture or matted rows, for both short-day and neutral-day varieties. It is a strawberry plant grown in the open ground and harvested dormant at the start of winter, to be kept in cold storage until spring planting. Bare-root plants are available from April to July for orders received before December 15.
