Strawberry Toscana F1 Seeds<\/h2>\n

(FleuroStar Award-Winning Ornamental Everbearing Strawberry)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strawberry Toscana F1 is the award-winning ornamental edible strawberry from ABZ Seeds<\/strong> that set a new standard for the category when it was named the winner of the prestigious FleuroStar Award 2011\/12 at the Fleuroselect Annual Conference<\/strong>. The judges from a cross-section of the industry noted that edible ornamentals are trendy and this stunning example has huge commercial potential making it an absolute winner. The FleuroStar Award is among the most respected recognitions in the European ornamental horticulture industry, and Toscana remains one of the most celebrated strawberry varieties ever introduced.<\/p>\n

Toscana develops a strong<\/strong> plant with several runners<\/strong> and large<\/strong>, deep rose flowers<\/strong>. Flowering and fruiting begin early in the season and continue along the runners. The single flowers<\/strong> reach up to 4 cm<\/strong> in diameter, are produced in clusters including along the runners, and each flower resembles a small wild rose \u2014 an extraordinarily decorative quality for a fruiting plant. The abundant deep pink blooms add a continuous dimension of color and ornamental beauty throughout the entire growing season, long before and after the fruits appear.<\/p>\n

Toscana produces an abundant harvest of conical, mid-sized fruits<\/strong> through the whole of summer. Fruits<\/strong> are juicy<\/strong> and sweet<\/strong>–flavored<\/strong>. The deep red color<\/strong> of the ripe berries provides a striking visual contrast against the dark green foliage and the pink blooms,<\/strong> creating a three-element ornamental display \u2014 foliage, flower, and fruit \u2014 that makes Toscana genuinely exceptional as both a productive and decorative plant.<\/p>\n

Toscana is multifunctional and can be used creatively as a bedding plant, is ideal for patio or terrace pots, and is an edible jewel on any balcony. It can be planted alone or in combinations with edible herbs or ornamental bedding plants. The runners, which can reach \u2014 a characteristic that makes Toscana spectacular in hanging baskets where the trailing runners spill over the edges carrying blooms and berries simultaneously.
\nIn Gulf conditions, Toscana performs as a premium cool-season ornamental and fruiting plant from autumn through spring.<\/p>\n

          • After cold stratification, sow Toscana F1 seeds on the surface of a good, moist seed-starting compost at 20\u201325\u00b0C.<\/li>\n
          • Do not cover seeds.<\/li>\n
          • Cover the tray with clear plastic or place in a propagator to maintain humidity until germination occurs, then remove the covering and move to full light.<\/li>\n
          • Grow on with sufficient light and moisture at 18\u201320\u00b0C, later preferably a little cooler. Approximately 7 weeks after sowing, transplant into 9\u201311 cm pots and grow on with full light, plenty of water, and regular fertilization using a balanced NPK formula.<\/li>\n
          • Keep the crown at or just above the soil surface. Water consistently and feed every two weeks with a balanced strawberry or flowering fertilizer throughout the season.<\/li>\n
          • Toscana responds vigorously to consistent feeding and watering, rewarding generous care with prolific flowers and fruit.<\/li>\n
          • The runners are an ornamental feature as well as a productive one \u2014 allow them to trail naturally from hanging baskets and containers for the full visual effect or, peg them down to root and produce new plants.<\/li>\n
          • To maximize fruit production on the mother plant, runners can be removed if preferred.<\/li>\n
          • To encourage larger, more vigorous plants and a more abundant crop, remove the first flush of flowers when plants are first established, allowing the plant to build root and stem strength before committing to fruit production.<\/li>\n
          • In Gulf conditions, the cool autumn-to-spring season provides ideal growing conditions.<\/li>\n
          • Toscana is semi-evergreen in frost-free climates and may persist and re-flower in subsequent seasons under Gulf conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
