Sparkle Strawberry is a compact herbaceous perennial with an abundant late-season crop and later blooms that escape early frost. The white flowers are followed by the juicy bright red berries with a extra sweet rich flavor starting in late June. Blooms best with full sun and fertile well-drained soil. Sparkle is self pollinating and is disease and pest resistant.
