Fragaria 'Flamingo' Strawberry

'Flamingo' strawberry is a striking addition to any edible landscape. This low-growing plant reaches just 8 to 10 inches tall and produces delicate, pollinator-friendly flowers that attract butterflies before maturing into distinctive pale-pink berries. As a day-neutral variety, 'Flamingo' offers continuous fruiting throughout the growing season, regardless of daylight length. The medium-to-large berries are soft, juicy, and fragrant, with a sweet, slightly tart flavor that makes them irresistible.

A Fragaria x ananassa hybrid, commonly called strawberry, 'Flamingo' is a perennial (Zones 5-8) that spreads through above-ground runners, increasing your harvest year after year. Ideal for traditional garden beds, 'Flamingo' also thrives in patio pots or hanging baskets, adding a unique ornamental touch to your garden.

For optimal growth, plant 'Flamingo' strawberries in full sun, ensuring they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. This adaptable variety thrives in mild, temperate climates and is naturally resistant to deer.

Plant non-GMO 'Flamingo' strawberry roots in spring after the last frost. Space them 12 to 24 inches apart and plant 2 to 3 inches deep with crowns at soil level. Before planting, remove the rubber band, rinse the roots, and gently separate them. With proper care, 'Flamingo' strawberries will reward you with a plentiful and beautiful harvest.
