Strawberry 'Toscana' F1

Product number: 001270
Origin: Europe
Latin: Fragaria x ananassa

This everbearing plant even won a FleuroStar award for its elegant, dark pink flowers! For a fruit plant, that's a breakthrough. Everbearing also means continuously flowering, so at a certain point, the tasty, elongated fruits will grow on the plant alongside the pink blossoms. Since the plants are grown from seed, the chance of disease is very small.

F1 hybrids can bear fruit in the same year if sown on time.

Names:
Latin: Fragaria x ananassa

Sowing method: Sowing is possible from early January to late March for fruit the same year and from April-July for harvest the following year; sow at a temperature of 22°C (20-25°C). Sowing medium: cocopeat with silver sand, sieve the top layer with a kitchen sieve to obtain extra fine soil. After spreading the fine seeds, press them lightly and sieve a very thin layer of the aforementioned sowing soil over the sown seeds. Keep moist by misting with water, do not make too wet and do not place in direct sunlight. If no germination is visible after 4 weeks, the seed tray may be placed in the refrigerator for 1 day, then returned to 22°C. Transplant the seedlings when the first true leaf has appeared (usually after 4-6 weeks). Harden off the plants sufficiently before planting them in the garden or containers. Regular fertilization is necessary but over-fertilization is harmful!
