Scarlet Bell Strawberry is a tidy, compact herbaceous perennial with larger, showy flowers and longer harvest season. The coarse-toothed deep green foliage is coated in scarlet red flowers with yellow centers from late spring into summer. The large sweet berries quickly mature to deep red berries, and are ready for harvest from summer into fall. Blooms best with full sun and fertile well-drained soil.
