Meet Lumina — an early-season strawberry that truly shines. Bred by the USDA in Beltsville, Maryland, and released in 2023, this new variety was named for its brilliant colour and high-gloss finish: its berries are so lustrous they almost look freshly rinsed.
Quick highlights:
- Hardiness: Adapted to temperate climates; blooms early, so a row cover on frosty spring nights is a smart move.
- Productivity: Consistently high yields, even without fumigation or fungicides.
- Berry size: Large, bright red, and remarkably glossy.
- Flavour: Sweet, with a notably creamy texture.
- Firmness: Holds up well after picking, with excellent resistance to rot in storage.
Lumina was developed to deliver what growers have long hoped for: a big, early, sweet strawberry. It ripens at the very start of the season, and shows strong resistance to anthracnose fruit rot. Whether you're a market grower looking to open the season with eye-catching fruit or a home gardener eager for the first berries of the year, Lumina is a bright idea.
