Quick Facts

• Type: Day-neutral (everbearing) strawberry
• Season: Repeats from late spring through fall under good management
• Flavor: Sweet, classic strawberry flavor with good dessert quality
• Berry: Bright red, good-sized berries that maintain size well through the season
• Plant habit: Vigorous, easy-to-grow plants that out-yield many other day-neutral varieties
• Best for: High-yield extended-season production in gardens, tunnels, and fresh-market plantings
• Hardiness & disease: Grows well in Zones 4–8; less sensitive to warm summer temperatures that typically shut down day-neutral production

Evie-2 is a newer day-neutral strawberry from England that has quickly gained a reputation for high yields and ease of production. Compared with many other everbearing types, it produces more fruit and continues to set berries reliably through warm spells that often slow or stop other varieties. The berries are bright red, good sized, and have a pleasant, sweet flavor that works well for fresh eating and desserts. [web:139][web:141]

Because Evie-2 is less sensitive to mid-summer heat, it fits especially well in plantings where a long, consistent picking season is important, such as high tunnels, raised beds, and intensive garden rows. Plants are vigorous and manageable, making them a strong choice for both home gardeners and commercial growers who want extended-season production without constant gaps in supply. In many trials, Evie-2 has ranked among the most productive and easy-to-grow day-neutral cultivars. [web:141][web:142]
