Lipstick Strawberry is a perennial that is typically grown for its edible qualities. It produces red heart-shaped berries which are usually ready for picking from mid spring to mid fall. This variety is considered an everbearing type of strawberry, which means that it will repeatedly produce fruit across most of the season. The berries have a sweet taste and a firm texture.

Boyne Raspberry is a cold-hardy, early-bearing variety that delivers reliable crops of medium-sized, sweet, juicy red berries beginning in early to midsummer. Named after a river in Manitoba, it was bred for exceptional winter hardiness — a natural choice for northern gardens where other varieties struggle to thrive. The upright-trailing canes grow 3–5 feet tall and produce best with light support and full sun exposure. Disease-resistant and proven over decades of performance, Boyne is a no-fuss fruiting shrub that rewards gardeners with a dependable summer harvest year after year. White spring flowers bring pollinators and butterflies before the fruit sets. A true workhorse variety for anyone serious about growing raspberries in cold climates.

Jewel Black Raspberry is the premier black raspberry variety for home gardeners, producing large, glossy, intensely flavored black berries with a rich, deep sweetness that red raspberries simply can’t match. The trailing canes grow 3–5 feet tall and benefit from support on a trellis or stake in a sunny border or fruiting bed for the best berry production. White spring flowers attract pollinators before the fruit sets in early summer, and birds are enthusiastic competitors for the harvest. Disease resistant and cold-hardy, Jewel is a reliable and productive choice for the home edible garden. The foliage turns warm red-burgundy and copper-bronze in fall, adding a seasonal ornamental note. A delicious, distinctive variety that earns its devoted following among berry enthusiasts.

Encore Raspberry is a late-season primocane variety prized for its generous clusters of sweet, juicy red berries that ripen from midsummer through fall, extending the fresh raspberry season later than most varieties. The upright canes reach 3–5 feet tall and wide, fitting neatly into garden borders or dedicated raspberry beds in full sun. White spring flowers attract pollinators before the berries set, and birds are always eager to share in the harvest. Disease-resistant and cold-hardy, it’s a reliable, low-maintenance choice that rewards minimal care with a maximum harvest. Plant it alongside an earlier-ripening variety for a nearly continuous supply of fresh raspberries through the growing season. A rewarding addition to any edible garden.
