Fragaria × Comarum hybrids


There are several commercially important hybrids between Fragaria and Comarum species in existence. A name for Fragaria × Comarum is available as × Comagaria Büscher & G.H. Loos in Veroff., along with the combination × Comagaria rosea Büscher & G.H. Loos.
The first-generation hybrids have been recorded as heptaploid, i.e. with seven sets of chromosomes; four sets of chromosomes came from their octoploid strawberry parent, and three from their hexaploid Comarum parent.

Commercial cultivars

All commercial cultivars resemble strawberries more closely than they do Comarum. They are all vigorous, and produce runners profusely.
