Strawberry Loran

Compact growth and early bearing make Strawberry Loran perfect for growing in a hanging basket or a patio pot. ‘Loran’ doesn’t produce as many runners as some varieties so it’s a good choice for small garden spaces. This is an everbearing variety that will produce sweet fruits all season. Pick fruits as soon as they ripen since strawberries are a favorite for birds and slugs. Strawberries are delicious in pies, tarts, jams, and preserves or served as a delicious dessert. Plant Strawberry Loran in full sun and protect flowers from frost in early spring. Keep soil consistently moist throughout the growing season as moisture is the key to plump, fully-formed berries. Mulch soil to reduce water evaporation.
