Seascape Strawberry

Thimbleberry is an ornamental shrub with large, green maple-like-leaves. Flowers are attractive, fragrant, and turn into red-raspberry-like berries. The berries are good for jams, cakes, breads, muffins etc. If you remove the berry, the core resembles a thimble, giving this shrub its namesake.

The Seascape Strawberry is a cold-hardy perennial that produces large, sweet cherry-red berries that are usually ready for harvest from late spring to early fall. This variety is an Everbearing (Day Neutral) strawberry with small white flowers. It is typically more productive than other cold hardy strawberries.
The Seascape Strawberry is a self-pollinating variety, meaning it does not require a second plant nearby to set fruit. This plant produces an above average number of runners that grow quickly into new plants.
