Toscana is a everbearing, day neutral variety. It does not sense the changing light levels of the changing seasons. It therefore does not receive the message to shut down for the winter and keeps on steadily producing fruit until frost. 

Mulching around strawberries will prevent soil born pathogens from coming in contact with fruit, causing spoiled fruit. 

Toscana is not completely hardy for our climatic zone but will survive most winters. Remember to cover with straw in fall and uncover once the weather warms in spring.
