There are two kinds of varieties, differ in fruiting time: ripening once every season (from June till September) & ever-bearing strawberry, which crops since the late spring till October. The climatic zone of planting plays not least part in berries ripening.

Once-every-season ripening strawberry varieties are divided by ripening period in four kinds: early, mid-early, average-late & late. Olivia, Clairy, Czech Beauty, Zarya, Antea varieties are regarded to early-ripening. The mid-early varieties are Elsanta, Festivalnaya & Stolichnaya. Present, Gigantella, Polka & Arosa belong to average-late kinds. Pegas & Chamora Tarusa are late.
