What is a biferous strawberry plant?
Some resellers still use outdated terms, leading to confusion. A biferous strawberry produces fruit several times a year. Today, we call them "remontant" strawberries—meaning they return to flowering and fruiting. This has nothing to do with climbing; for instance, remontant roses can be climbers or not. Clarifying these terms helps every gardener avoid mix-ups.
What should you choose, fellow gardener?
Everbearing (remontant) strawberries deliver a staggered harvest, providing a steady supply of berries for fresh eating throughout the season. Traditional non-remontant varieties yield abundant crops all at once, perfect for jams, baking, or freezing.

Strawberries paired with leeks: a smart companion planting combo.
