Here’s what each season means for your garden:
What’s the difference ?
Early-Season Strawberries
These are the first berries of the year.
Early-season varieties bloom and ripen before most others, giving you that exciting first harvest of the season.
Best for:
Gardeners eager for the earliest berries
Areas with shorter growing seasons
Extending your harvest window
Things to know:
Early blooms may need frost protection in colder springs
Usually medium-sized, big on classic strawberry flavor
Examples: AC Wendy, Earliglow
Mid-Season Strawberries
The dependable workhorses.
Mid-season varieties ripen right after early berries and offer big yields, consistent performance, and great flavor.
Best for:
Home gardeners wanting reliable, everyday berries
U-pick farms and market growers
High yields and strong flavor
Things to know:
Typically the biggest producers
Many boast firmer berries and long picking windows
Examples: Jewel, Annapolis
Late-Season Strawberries
The last berries of the season — and often the sweetest.
Late-season types extend your harvest well into summer, especially valuable for anyone wanting berries after most patches taper off.
Best for:
Extending the season into late June/July
Filling in gaps for market growers
Warm-climate areas or gardeners who want a long strawberry season
Things to know:
Often darker red, higher Brix (sweeter!)
Great for fresh eating, jam, and freezing
Examples: Sparkle (late midseason), Malwina (very late)
