We’re pleased to bring you a wonderful selection of Colorado-adapted strawberries with real strawberry flavor! You can choose Ogallala, Earliglow, Ft. Laramie, and Yellow Wonder Alpine. March is the perfect time to prepare your bed for planting these delicious fruits that will come back for several years.
Ogallala
OGALLALA
Finally able to offer you this old-time favorite cross between wild Rocky Mt. strawberry and garden varieties. Developed many decades ago for our region! Okay with less-than-ideal soil, everbearing, productive.
FORT LARAMIE
Another old favorite developed for our region! Everbearing, large, sweet, aromatic fruits, heat and cold tolerant.
EARLIGLOW
June-bearing, some say THE best tasting. Best choice for making preserves because of the concentrated harvest.

YELLOW WONDER ALPINE
Small, long-lived, runnerless plants. Small, very sweet fruit with notes of pineapple. Because they’re not red, birds leave them alone.
Cultivation: Our friends at CSU extension have several informative guides on establishing and maintaining strawberry beds in Colorado.
