Fragaria ‘Strawberry Tristan’

Common Name:
Strawberry ‘Tristan’

Description:
Fragaria ‘Strawberry Tristan’ is a decorative and productive everbearing strawberry variety that delivers both visual charm and a tasty harvest. This compact plant is known for its vibrant magenta-pink flowers, which bloom prolifically from spring through to autumn, followed by small to medium-sized, sweet red strawberries. Its tidy, mounding growth habit and ornamental appeal make it ideal for containers, hanging baskets, window boxes or edging garden beds. ‘Tristan’ performs best in a full sun position with moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular feeding during the growing season for optimal fruit production. In Melbourne, it reliably flowers and fruits over an extended season and is well-suited to both edible and ornamental garden designs. Its dual-purpose nature and low maintenance needs make it a favourite for home gardeners seeking colour, function, and form in a small space.
