'Verdi' frigo strawberry plant - Packaged per 10 pieces

Verdi is a mid-early variety with fruits forming in June. Verdi fruits are juicy and sweet and have a good shelf life (about 2 days before they soften). Verdi is not very susceptible to disease and is highly resistant to crown rot (phytophthora cactorum) and wilt (verticillium), two common diseases in the vegetable garden.

A June-bearing strawberry variety provides one large harvest per year. This type of strawberry plant produces a lot of fruit in a short amount of time, which is ideal for fresh use, jam, or freezing. June-bearing varieties, such as Verdi, are often stronger and more productive than everbearing variants.

Frigo plants are bare-root plants that are stored by the grower in a cold store at a low temperature after cultivation. The roots of these strawberries are therefore bare and have no soil on them. The frigo strawberries are shipped in a bag so that the roots do not dry out and must therefore be planted out or potted as soon as possible.
