Overview

A long season cropping strawberry. A popular, juicy, spring fruiting 'everbearing' strawberry, that repeats again from mid-July until the first frosts. With large yields, which increase over the season, the conical fruit are medium in size, bright red, firm and resembles the taste of wild strawberries. The foliage is toothed or scalloped and form a trailing ground cover radiating outwards from the pretty white flowers stalks that pepper the central mound. This strong spreading habit makes it perfect for raised beds, hanging baskets and climbing frames.

Care guide

Prepare the ground well before planting. Clear all the weeds and dig in lots of well-rotted manure. When planting out, space the plants at 45cm intervals with 75cm between each row and apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plants, being careful to avoid the crown. If training onto a support, tie them in as they start to grow and keep the runners off the ground. If you want to grow them in the more conventional way and let them trail along the ground, then put a thick layer of straw or use strawberry mats under the plants to stop the fruit touching the soil when they are starting to form. Sheets of black plastic mulch can also be used, and it will also help retain soil moisture, reduce weeds and encourage early cropping. Remove excess runners as needed or propagate by pegging down 5 stems growing over the soil surface and leaving them attached until autumn when they can cut from the mother plant. If planted in late summer, remove flowers the first year to encourage fruiting next year. After the final harvest, remove old leaves with hand shears. Leave the crown & new leaves to allow the sun to reach the centre of the plant.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
