Tristan Strawberry is a compact herbaceous perennial without runners and a continuous harvest that lasts until the weather cools. The attractive rose pink flowers are followed by the elongated bright red berries with an exceptionally sweet and rich flavor starting in June. Blooms best with full sun and fertile well-drained soil. Sparkle is self pollinating and has good disease resistance.
