Seems like they're a June fruiting variety, available from Ken Muir.
See below

Acta Horticulturae

Quote:
A system for winter greenhouse production of strawberries was developed in Norway. Plants of the June-bearing cultivar ‘Korona’ were artificially induced to flower with short-day (SD) treatments
.: Ken Muir :.

Quote:
Strawberry 'Korona'* (pack of 12 plants)

This heavy cropping variety is noted for its excellent sweet flavour. The fruits are large and juicy and red right through to the centre.

Frozen plants are available March - late July
Fresh dug plants are available October/Nov
Price: £13.41
Price inc. P&P
