What customers say
Customer satisfaction centers on the exceptional quality and unparalleled flavor of the ‘Mara des Bois’ strawberries. Enthusiasts praise the fruit’s intense aroma and complex taste, often comparing it favorably to wild varieties. Successful growers confirm the everbearing promise, enjoying continuous high yields that justify the investment.

Know before you buy
Everbearing means the plants will produce fruit in multiple flushes throughout the growing season rather than just one single harvest. With 'Mara des Bois,' you can expect a continuous supply of strawberries from summer through fall.
These are gourmet berries bred specifically for flavor and fragrance. They offer a more intense, complex profile that mimics the concentrated sweetness and aroma of wild strawberries, rather than the mild, watery taste often found in commercial varieties.
Because they reach a compact height of only 6 to 8 inches, they are excellent for containers, hanging baskets, or raised beds. Just ensure your chosen spot receives full sun for the best fruit production.
Yes, 'Mara des Bois' is a perennial in hardiness zones 4 through 7. Because the plants produce runners, they will naturally propagate themselves, helping you maintain and expand your strawberry patch for future seasons.
This set includes six 2.5-inch pots, which is a great starting point for a small home garden. Since these plants are prolific and produce runners, you will likely have enough plants to expand your harvest area by the following year.
