Soft Fruit

Yes, many varieties of strawberries, blueberries, and even raspberries grow well in pots with the right compost and care.

The ideal time is during the dormant season (late autumn to early spring), but planter-grown plants can be planted year-round.

Yes, most soft fruits thrive in full sun and need at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best yields and flavour. The advantage of planting in planters is that it's possibly to move the plant to a sunnier location after planting.

Some plants like strawberries may fruit lightly in year one, but most soft fruit plants give better harvests from year two onward. However it also depends on the age of the plant you buy, check the product page for more information.

Most are hardy in the UK climate, but young plants may benefit from protection during extreme cold. If you plant your soft fruit in planters, it makes it easier to move them to a more protected area during frosts and hail.

Many soft fruits are self-fertile, but planting multiple varieties can improve yields—especially for crops like blueberries and currants.
