Dayneutral or true everbearing strawberries produce flowers and fruit from July to the first frost in the planting year and June to frost the next year. They are suitable for local fresh market sales. They are usually grown on raised beds covered in black plastic with drip irrigation. For this reason, dayneutral strawberries require more management than June bearing strawberries.

Seascape

A California variety. Similar to Selva, it produces high yields of large fruit but is not as firm as Selva. Fruit is bright red, attractive and glossy. Fruit flavour and internal red colour are better than Selva. The fruit also withstands rain better than Selva. It seems to perform best on Vancouver Island. In the Fraser Valley some seediness may occur.
