Variety Specifications
Planting & Care

A modern, everbearing French variety with a rich, intense taste.
Evokes the authentic flavour of original woodland and alpine strawberries.
Enjoy a continuous harvest of vibrant, flavourful fruit for over four months.
Highly aromatic and sought after by top chefs for its unique taste.
Produces fruit continuously throughout the summer season.

Species: Strawberry
Features: Easy to grow
Flowering: April, May
Harvesting: June, July, August, September
Position: Full sun
Hardiness: Fully Hardy
Spread: 20-30cm
Habit: Clump forming
Ideal for: Beds & borders, Pots
Pest & Disease Resistance: High
Tasting Notes: Characteristic woody flavour
Pollination: Self Fertile

Planting: Can be planted all year round.
Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid areas prone to frost and soils that have previously grown potatoes, chrysanthemums, or tomatoes because they are all prone to the disease verticillium wilt.
Pruning: If your plant is planted in late summer, remove the flowers in the first year to encourage fruiting next year. After harvesting, remove old leaves but leave the crown and new leaves untouched to allow sunlight into the centre of your plant.
Watering: Water frequently while new plants are establishing and during dry periods in the growing season. Try to avoid wetting crowns and fruit as this can promote disease.
Feeding: To develop flavour, start feeding with a potassium-rich feed just as the flowers begin to show. This helps the plants produce fruit with more sugar and a better taste.
