Abstract

This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry named ‘Driscoll Atlantis.’ The variety is similar to the varieties ‘Biscayne’ and ‘Key Largo.’ The variety is distinguished from ‘Biscayne’ and ‘Key Largo,’ in particular, by its shorter average stipule length, reduced frequency of paired bracts, shorter sepal length and width, weak leaf glosiness, dense stipule pubescence, and a very narrow band on the fruit where achenes are absent.
