Day-neutral varieties

Day-neutral varieties are traditionally used to extend the season beyond the traditional June to August period. Find out about how and when they flower and fruit.

Day-neutral varieties initiate flowers at any time of the season, irrespective of day length, and are often termed as ‘everbearers’ in the UK.

These varieties are particularly useful as they can be manipulated to produce flowers and fruit when growers choose, usually at those times of the year when short-day or mainseason varieties are not cropping.
