• Strawberry ‘Summer Breeze Rose’ F1 is a distinctive ornamental strawberry prized for its beautiful, rose-like semi-double flowers. The rich rose-pink blooms retain their color well and are followed by attractive, sweet red strawberries.
• Its compact habit and limited runner production help the plant maintain a neat appearance, making it particularly suitable for patio pots, balcony planters and decorative edible gardens. As an everbearing F1 strawberry, it can flower and produce fruit repeatedly when temperatures and growing conditions are favorable.

Growing in Kuwait

• Grow outdoors from autumn through early spring, ideally between October and February. Provide at least six hours of direct sunlight during winter. As temperatures rise, morning sun with afternoon shade will help reduce heat stress.
• Plant in rich, free-draining soil and keep the crown level with the soil surface. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, maintaining even moisture without waterlogging the roots. Feed regularly with a balanced fertilizer, switching to a potassium-rich flowering fertilizer once buds appear.
• This is a cool-season strawberry and is not tolerant of Kuwait’s extreme summer heat. Move container plants to a protected, cooled environment before severe summer temperatures arrive. Hand-pollination may improve fruit set when plants are grown inside screened areas or greenhouses.
