Intensely Fragrant and Flavorful

Mara Des Bois Everbearing Strawberry

Intensely Fragrant and Flavorful

One of the tastiest berries we've tried! Developed by a French breeding program, this everbearing, day-neutral variety produces attractive red, small to medium berries that are intensely fragrant and flavorful. Enjoy a heavy set of berries in early summer followed by several more light flushes in late summer and fall. Good choice for terraced beds, barrels or pyramids. Zones 4-7.
