Buy any 3 packs of strawberry plants & SAVE £9.00!
The earliest strawberry we offer, cropping outside from the first week in June; and by protecting with cloches or growing in a tunnel you can expect to pick from mid May! The fruit is large, firm and extremely juicy and sweet. It is easy to grow too, having strong resistance to the major strawberry pests and diseases. For best yield and flavour water generously in dry spells and particularly after flowering. Supplied as bare root plants.
Culture: Plant Strawberries 45cm (18") apart with 75cm (2½') between each row. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and dig in plenty of well-rotted manure or compost. Full growing instructions included.
