Fragaria ‘Strawberry Ruby Ann’

Common Name:
Strawberry ‘Ruby Ann’

Description:
Fragaria ‘Strawberry Ruby Ann’ is an eye-catching ornamental and edible strawberry cultivar that combines bold beauty with fruiting practicality. Unlike typical strawberries, ‘Ruby Ann’ features striking ruby-red flowers that bloom continuously from spring through autumn, adding vibrant colour to garden beds, hanging baskets, and containers. This compact, everbearing variety produces small to medium-sized, sweet and juicy red fruits throughout the warmer months. The plant has a tidy, low-growing habit with lush green foliage, making it ideal for ornamental planting in small spaces or as an attractive edible border. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, fertile soils, it enjoys regular watering during fruiting but is otherwise relatively low-maintenance. In Melbourne’s climate, ‘Ruby Ann’ delivers both visual impact and productive harvests with minimal fuss.
