Description
Experience a unique twist on a classic favorite with Strawberry ‘White Dream’, also known as the Pineberry. This unusual variety produces high yields of heart-shaped, soft white fruits dotted with vibrant red seeds. Its aromatic flavor comes with a surprising and delightful pineapple aftertaste, making it a true conversation starter in any garden.
With a bushy habit and neatly spreading stems, ‘Snow White’ is perfect for containers, where the fruit can cascade beautifully over the edges, as well as in allotments or garden beds. A fully hardy perennial, it flowers in May, with fruits ripening from green to white with red seeds by June. Interestingly, birds often ignore the fruit, mistaking it for unripe, reducing the need for protective netting. For an even better harvest, plant alongside a traditional strawberry variety for effective pollination.
