Junebearing Strawberry 'Sparkle', Strawberry 'Sparkle'
One of the heirloom strawberry varieties, Fragaria x ananassa ‘Sparkle’ (Junebearing Strawberry) is a late season cultivar producing medium-sized, sweet, bright red berries, which are flavorful. It is widely regarded the best strawberry variety for making jam. Five-petaled white flowers adorned with yellow centers appear in early spring and give way to large red berries which ripen around the month of June, hence the name. Tremendously popular, Junebearers produce the largest strawberries, and do so over a period of 2-3 weeks. Excellent choice for gardeners in northern climates. A vigorous plant with good disease resistance. May remain evergreen in frost-free areas.
A strawberry patch is ravishing with its small mounds of fresh, green, pleated leaves which hide dangling, ruby-red fruits begging to be picked and enjoyed. This Junebearing Strawberry can be successfully grown in a container too. Excellent for pie, fresh eating and jams.
Strawberry varieties are 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.
