A Gardener’s Complete Strawberry Variety Guide (+ 5 of The Best for Your Garden)
There’s a huge variety of strawberries available to you: over 300 currently, with more being introduced every year.
No matter where in the world you go, there are always great strawberry varieties with all sorts of different flavors waiting to be found! Whether it be for fresh eating, jam-making, or pie filling pleasure.
In this article, I’ll cover some of the more popular types, such as Quinalt, Ozark Beauty, Jewel, Honeoye, and Albion. Plus, find a long list of 320 other delicious strawberry varieties all in one place.
Quinault Strawberry
Quinault strawberries are the perfect summer treat. They’re juicy, red, and flavorful when eaten fresh but can also be preserved for long-term storage in jars at your home!
Bred at Washington State University, the Quinault Strawberry is a durable, everbearing cultivar that produces many large sweet strawberries, making them great for your garden.
The main crops are ripe from late spring through mid-autumn, with the best yield in early June and later August when they’re at peak ripeness. The plant will also generate many runners, so you can continue growing more produce even after picking begins.
Quinault Strawberry plants are particularly cold-hardy and can be grown in cold climates down to Zone 3a, where they will grow well without protection such as shielding against strong winds.
Ozark Beauty Strawberry
Ozark Beauties produce deep red strawberries that taste like your favorite strawberry dessert. Not only do they have a sweet flavor when eaten fresh off the vine, but these berries also make for great preserves!
Developed in Arkansas, Ozark Beauties are one of the best everbearing strawberry varieties.
Mother plants produce runners and fruit well, but runner plants usually will not produce any strawberries during their first year; however, these sweet berries are an excellent choice for those who want to grow them as they can be grown easily in pots or from seed!
They are one of the hardiest strawberries ever and can withstand cold temperatures, and produces fruits until the first frost.
Jewel Strawberry
The Jewel Strawberry is one of the most popular and successful strawberries. They produce large, sweet fruit loaded with flavor that’s consistent throughout each plant growth cycle – never disappointing!
The Jewel Strawberry is a June-bearing garden strawberry cultivar from New York State known for its big, deep red berries with exceptional flavor.
The easy-to-grow plants are well adapted and suitable in many climates—it’s no wonder that this variety of strawberries deserves their consistent placement as one of the best-tasting types on earth!
Honeoye Strawberry
Honeoye strawberries are self-pollinating, easy to grow, and a joy to have in the garden.
These plants produce one large crop over a 3-4 week period from mid-June through early July, with vigorous runners that tend to grow after the ripening of berries.
The Honeoye strawberry plant is a hardy variety developed at Cornell’s Geneva Research Station over three decades ago. It has unusual winter tolerance and can thrive even in very low-temperature areas, making it one of the best varieties for your garden!
Albion Strawberry
Albion strawberries are large and firm, with an almost crunchy texture that has made them popular in salad toppings around the world!
The Albion Strawberry, a University of California bred day-neutral variety, has a sweet flavor that makes these strawberries perfect as a dessert or snack to enjoy any time you want something juicy (not too soft).
Plants grown from this precious fruit will resist many common fungal diseases because they’re naturally more robust than other varieties, which means less work for you – amazing, right?! And the fragrant white flowers are attractive to pollinators.
