Cardinal Strawberry Plant
Description
Sweeter than most strawberries and grows in most kinds of soil. The vigorous Cardinal gives you more flavor and taste than most. We think its high yields and disease resistance will make it the most-planted strawberry in the U.S. A favorite for desserts or just leave off the sugar and enjoy fresh.
