Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my strawberry plant produce leaves but few strawberries? This is usually due to excess nitrogen in the fertilizer: replace it with a potassium-rich fertilizer specially designed for strawberry or fruit plants.
What is the difference between an everbearing strawberry plant and a classic strawberry plant? The everbearing variety produces flowers and fruit continuously from May to October, while the classic variety fruits over a short period in early summer.

🍓 Delicious strawberries all summer • 🌸 Recurrent white flowers from May to October • ☀️ Full sun to partial shade • 🌱 Organic cultivation • 💧 Regular watering • 🐾 Non-toxic, edible fruits • 📏 H45 cm | Pot Ø13 cm
The Fragaria x ananassa 'Delizzimo', also called Organic everbearing strawberry, produces delicate white flowers with yellow centers from May to October, followed by fragrant red strawberries with an intense flavor. Originating from a European horticultural selection and grown using Tasty Green, an organic production method without synthetic chemical inputs, it ranks among the most generous balcony plants in the catalog.
Its special feature: an everbearing character that ensures continuous flowering and fruiting for nearly five months, whereas a classic strawberry plant produces only one wave of fruit in early summer. It is the ideal variety for a gourmet balcony where you can harvest strawberries throughout the season.
Exposure & Location
The 'Delizzimo' strawberry thrives in full sun or bright partial shade. The sunnier the exposure, the sweeter and more fragrant the strawberries will be. It is a plant suited for balconies, terraces, or garden pots, perfectly adapted to urban cultivation.
- Exposure: full sun to partial shade — at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sun daily for sweet fruits.
- Location: balcony, terrace, windowsill, planter, hanging pot — anywhere with generous light.
- Hardiness: hardy down to -10 °C — protect the pot from prolonged frost with a winter cover in very cold regions.
- Soil type: rich, fresh, and well-draining — potting soil for vegetable plants or strawberries, slightly acidic (pH 5.5 to 6.5).
Place the pot about thirty centimeters off the ground to keep fruits away from slugs and snails — an elevated planter or hanging pot is ideal on a balcony.
Watering & Care
The strawberry requires regular watering to keep the substrate fresh without waterlogging. A drying root ball during fruiting causes small, bland fruits, while excess water promotes fungal diseases. To adjust, test the substrate moisture with your finger before each watering.
- Watering: 3 to 4 times per week during peak season, as soon as the substrate surface dries — always at the base, never on leaves or fruits.
- Drainage: essential — pot with drainage holes, clay pebbles at the bottom, saucer emptied systematically after watering.
- Fertilizer: liquid fertilizer for fruit plants, rich in potassium, every two weeks from May to September to support fruiting.
- Mulching: cover the substrate with straw or coconut fiber mulch — it keeps freshness, limits watering, and protects fruits from soil moisture.
- Stolons: cut stolons (long horizontal stems) to focus energy on fruiting, or leave a few to propagate the plant.
Harvest strawberries when fully red late in the morning, before the heat — they are then full of aroma and their sugar content is at its peak.
Decor Ideas & Plant Pairings
With its small white flowers with yellow centers and red fruits, the 'Delizzimo' strawberry brings freshness and indulgence to the balcony. To create an easy-to-maintain urban balcony, it naturally pairs with other edible and melliferous plants.
- For a complete gourmet balcony, pair the strawberry with an Organic raspberry 'Malling Promise' in the same pot size and a set of 4 aromatic plants — a mini edible garden that transforms a balcony corner into a fresh reserve.
- To attract pollinators, place the strawberry next to a true lavender — bees attracted by lavender pollinate the strawberry’s white flowers and increase the fruit yield.
- To enhance the growing pot, slip it into a Gabriel ceramic decorative pot ochre 14 cm — the warm brown ochre complements the red strawberries and fresh green foliage for a summery harmony.
- For a colorful flowering scene, surround the strawberry with an Agapanthus 'Ever White' with white umbels — the white of both blooms creates a bright composition where the red strawberries stand out even more.
Plant the strawberry in a hanging pot or windowsill planter to enjoy the cascading effect of stolons loaded with small strawberries — a decorative and delicious display lasting all summer.
Verdeia Tips
- Mulch the substrate from planting: a layer of straw or coconut fibers around the base keeps freshness, limits weed growth, and keeps fruits away from moist substrate to prevent rotting.
- Fertilize with strawberry fertilizer: rich in potassium and low in nitrogen, it promotes flower formation and fruit flavor quality — excess nitrogen produces lush leaves but few strawberries.
- Renew the plant every 3 years: beyond that, productivity drops sharply. Propagate stolons in open ground or pots at the end of summer to get vigorous new plants for the next season free of charge.
