Bushel and Berry Debuts Three New Strawberries

Posted by Brian Sparks|January 27, 2021

Bushel and Berry, the collection of homegrown berries from Star Roses and Plants, is introducing three new strawberry plants for 2021. These ornamental, everbearing strawberries are the first non-blueberry additions to the collection since the Baby Cakes blackberry plant was introduced in 2016.

Here’s a closer look at the new strawberry varieties:

‘Rosy Belle’ is both beautiful and tasty with rose, pink blooms and sweet berries that grow abundantly from spring until frost. It is ideal as a border plant or grown in pots. ‘Rosy Belle’ has a cascading habit that will reach 6 to 9 inches high.
‘Scarlet Belle’ has scarlet-red blooms with yellow centers that produce juicy strawberries all season. Plant in patio pots, hanging baskets, or garden beds. ‘Scarlet Belle’ has a cascading habit that will reach 8 to 12 inches high.
‘Snowy Belle’ is a deliciously sweet treat to grow in the garden and enjoy at the table. This strawberry variety has big, white flowers that produce an abundance of flavorful fruit. Snowy Belle has a cascading habit that will reach 8 to 10 inches high.

“These new strawberries are reliable with great performance in multiple regions of the country,” says Kristen Pullen, Bushel and Berry Program Manager at Star Roses and Plants. “They also have a quick production time of about eight to 10 weeks from potting in greenhouse or tunnel production.”

With edible gardening continuing to rise among consumers, these compact, everbearing strawberries are a versatile addition to any garden space that will offer fruit all season.
