Meet the Breeder
East Anglican Jack Ellis' favorite pasttime is breeding novel varieties of strawberries, and when he brought us this beautiful Fragaria Pink Panda, it was clear that he was truly "tickled pink." His vigorous, free-flowering discovery proved quick to propagate and since 1990 has been one of Blooms most popular varieties, gracing baskets and borders worldwide.
