The Hautbois Strawberries is perennial, growing up to 45 cm (18 inches) tall, but it also spreads via runners and provides ground cover.
It is hardy, able to withstand some frost, but the plant is not overly productive in terms of fruit.
The fruit, though small and not abundant, is deep red colour, and sweet, fragrant and juicy, with concentrated flavour and somewhat of a musky taste.
Two cultivars have been developed: Capron and Profumata di Tortona.
