There are numerous strawberry cultivar varieties available. It is, however, prudent to select only varieties adapted to the climatic conditions of the part of the country where you live.

Your local Cooperative Extension Agent would be able to give you advice on suitable nurseries. According to the North Carolina, Department of Agriculture ever bearing varieties like Ozark Beauty and Superfection have generally not performed well in North Carolina.
