Organic Fronteras Strawberry Plant 4"
Beginner Friendly, Expert Approved
Sweet, abundant, and wonderfully vigorous, ‘Fronteras’ is a June-bearing strawberry celebrated for its extra-large, conical berries and cheerful productivity. With bright red color, firm texture, and a delightfully balanced flavor, this standout variety is perfect for snacking, baking, or turning into luscious homemade preserves. If you’re dreaming of a berry that delivers both beauty and bounty, ‘Fronteras’ is ready to impress.
Originally developed for high performance in commercial organic production, ‘Fronteras’ shows exceptional resilience and adaptability across many climates. Grown in a convenient 4" pot, these plants establish quickly, pushing out vigorous foliage and preparing for a generous flush of fruit in early summer. Their robust growth habit makes them a rewarding choice for gardeners seeking reliable harvests with minimal fuss.
Highly resistant to Verticillium, Fusarium, and Phytophthora—with additional tolerance to powdery mildew and spider mites—‘Fronteras’ offers outstanding disease resilience. Preliminary trials also show promising resistance to Macrophomina, making this variety a top pick for organic growers. With a low chill requirement of ≤ 300 hours, it thrives especially well in mild-winter regions while performing beautifully wherever June-bearing strawberries are grown.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
