Description

The perfect early strawberry, this variety produces fruit as early in summer as May, if covered with a protective horticultural fleece in spring.

Supplied as 10 runners (young plants) will produce plants with large very bright orange-red fruit. It has an exceptionally fine sweet flavour and is one of the best early variety for disease resistance.

Young plants will overwinter well, putting down a strong root system, ready to grow next year and produce these lovely bright fruits from early summer.

In spring next year transplant to a hanging basket, container or grow bed adding some high-potassium plant food for a flower and fruit-boost.

Place straw under the strawberry leaves where possible to prevent fruit rotting on the soil and protect from birds using netting.

How you will receive your plants

Your bare root plants will arrive at your door at the right time for planting. Unpack them straight away and plant as soon as possible after delivery.

Can’t plant straight away?

If you can’t plant right away, keep the plants in their packaging in a cool dark place. Make sure the roots remain moist. We recommended you aim to plant them within seven days.

Planting tips and hints:

Before planting bare root plants, soak the roots in tepid water for a few minutes to rehydrate them.

Planting in containers: Plant in containers filled with multi-purpose compost, with the crown (where the leaves start to appear) at soil level. Water after planting

Planting in the ground: Plant in full sun in soil that has been enriched with well-rotted farmyard manure or garden compost. Ensure that the crown of the plant (where the leaves start to appear) is at soil level. Water after planting.
