Hongfen Yiren is a new red-flowered ornamental strawberry cultivar with long florescence over 4 months.The seeding was derived from a cross between 18SFand 52SF in 2017 at experimental field. The parents were introduced from Shenyang Agricultural university.It was initially selected in 2018 for its dark pink flower, the ability of continuous flowering and resistance. Through artificial hybridization pollination, 350 hybrid seeds was got in 2017. After regional adaptability testing at three sites (including Gongzhuling,Huinan and Meihekou)over three years from 2019 to 2021, it was finally selected in 2021.This species is a moderate,attaining a height of 14.6 cm ;the plant is vigorous with the growth habit of upright.The crown diameter is 16.8 cm and 20.4 cm. The leaves are elliptic with green in color. The leaf length is 4.9 cm and the leaf width is 3.3 cm,sharply serrated. The petiole length is 6.1 cm. Hongfen Yiren had hermaphrodite dark pink flowers of 3.1 cm in the corolla diameter and 5~8 petals per flower. Thenumber of flowers per inflorescence is 4-12. Fruit is conical or wedge-shaped with slightly red peel. Tts flesh is red with light aroma.The average single primary fruit weight 7.06 g,2.6cm long,2.5cm wide.The fruit tastes sweet and sour. The content of soluble solids is 11.6%. The conten of total soluble sugar is 55.47%.The content of soluble acid is 0.46%. The content of Vitamin C is 0.41 mg·g-1.The fruit firmness is 1.06 kg·cm-2。The plantets usually plant in mid-April and start to bloom in mid-May and end in October in the open field in Gongzhuling region（124 ° E and 43 ° N）. Each flower lasted 5 to 7 days. The ability of continuous flowering is strong. The fruits ripened in early or middle June in the open filed. This cultivar is mainly used for ornamental purposes and has a low yield. It is resistant to gray mold and powdery mildew, and highly resistant to leaf spot. This cultivar is suitable for ornamental. It can be ornamental cultivated in strawberry producing areas of the central, eastern and areas with similar climatic conditions of Jilin province. It was suitable to grow in the open field.Orchard should choose neutral or sligthtly acidic soil. Because this cultivar has long florescence, it is needed to apply enough base-fertilizes. It can be planted in the center of a 1m wide redges,spacing in the rows is 50 cm or planted in a flower pot.The planting depth should be such that the base of the seedling center is flush with the ground, ensuring that no roots are exposed and the seedlings growing point is not buried. After planting, water should be poured thoroughly. It is advisable to plant in the evening or on cloudy days, which is beneficial for slowing down the seedlings. This species need to be protected to overwintering safely in the open field. It is generally carried out before the freezing period (late October to early November in Changchun). After winter protection, it can continue to grow in the spring of the following year. It needs replant after three years.
