Ornamental Strawberry ‘Summer Breeze Rose’ (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Summer Breeze Rose’)

Ornamental Strawberry ‘Summer Breeze Rose’ (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Summer Breeze Rose’) is a beautiful dual-purpose plant that combines ornamental flowers with delicious fruit production. This unique variety is prized for its large rose-pink blooms, attractive foliage, and sweet strawberries, making it an exceptional choice for containers, hanging baskets, patio planters, and edible landscapes.

Unlike traditional strawberries with white flowers, Summer Breeze Rose produces striking semi-double rose-pink blooms that create a colourful display from late spring through summer. The flowers are followed by sweet, juicy red strawberries that can be harvested throughout the season. This combination of ornamental beauty and edible harvest makes it a standout addition to both flower gardens and kitchen gardens.

The compact, mounding growth habit works beautifully in containers and elevated planters, where both the flowers and fruit can be easily enjoyed. Pollinators are attracted to the colourful blooms, helping support fruit production while adding activity to the garden. The attractive green foliage remains lush and appealing throughout the growing season.

In Alberta, Summer Breeze Rose performs exceptionally well in containers and garden beds, providing months of flowers followed by delicious homegrown strawberries.
