Celebrated for its superb fruit quality and an intense flavour reminiscent of wild woodland strawberries.

Easy to grow and versatile, ideal for patio containers, allotments, or garden borders.

Species: Strawberry
Flowering Time: April - May
Harvest Time: June - August
Position: Full sun
Habit: Clump forming
Hardiness: Fully Hardy
Soil Type: Fertile, well-drained soil
Eventual Spread: 20-30cm
Pest & Disease Resistance: High
Self-fertile: Yes

Planting: Plant any time of year. Avoid areas prone to frost and soil that has previously grown potatoes, chrysanthemums, or tomatoes, as they are prone to verticillium wilt.
Watering: Water frequently while new plants are establishing and during dry periods in the growing season. Try to avoid wetting the crowns and fruit to discourage disease.
Feeding: For the best flavour, apply a potassium-rich feed as the flowers begin to show. This helps the plant produce fruits with more sugar and a better taste.
Pruning: If planted in late summer, remove flowers in the first year to encourage better fruiting the following year. After harvesting, remove old leaves, leaving the crown and new leaves untouched to allow sunlight into the centre of the plant.
