'Toscana' was developed from the ancestor of almost all strawberry varieties, fragaria x ananassa, which originated in France in the 18th century. 'Toscana' is an ever-bearing variety with perky, 1.5" wide, rose-pink flowers in clusters and luscious fruit, with a full-flavored strawberry taste. Ideal spilling from pots or in the garden. Grow your own healthy and delicious fruit this year!
