Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Celebrate summer in quintessential British style with a bumper crop of delicious homegrown strawberries! With this superb trio of top varieties, chosen for their outstanding qualities and range of fruiting times to carry you through the whole summer, you can enjoy a better harvest than ever before.

Fruit Summer Strawberry Trio comprises 18 bare root plants, 6 of each of the following varieties:

Strawberry ‘Marshmello’ (mid-season) – one of the sweetest of all strawberries with excellent disease resistance. Despite their excellent flavour, ‘Marshmello’ strawberries aren’t available to buy commercially because their soft texture makes for a shorter shelf life – so home-growing is your chance to enjoy these divine fruits that leave supermarket varieties far behind! Height: 20cm (8in). Spread: 30cm (12in).
Strawberry ‘Malling Centenary’ (early- to mid-season) – an outstanding variety producing heavy crops right from its first year, this easy-to-grow strawberry produces richly flavoured berries in just 60 days, and keeps cropping for up to four months! Height: 30cm (12in). Spread: 50cm (20in).
Strawberry ‘Pegasus’ (mid- to late-season) – an RHS award-winning variety producing medium-large, soft, sweet and juicy fruit. With great resistance to verticillium wilt, crown rot and mildew, ‘Pegasus’ is ideal for organic growing, and thrives on heavy soils. Height: 20cm (8in). Spread: 30cm (12in).

Plant strawberry plants in autumn or late spring in a sheltered, sunny position in well manured, free draining soil. Plant strawberry runners every 45cm (18") in rows spaced at 75cm (30") apart. Spread out their roots and place them in the soil at a level where the crown of the plant is just poking above the surface. Avoid planting them too deeply as this may cause them to rot. Alternatively try growing strawberry plants in hanging baskets or in specially designed strawberry planters for the patio.

Water strawberries frequently throughout the growing season and weed regularly between rows. When growing strawberry plants in baskets and containers, they will also need feeding every two weeks.

From early summer, remove any runners that are produced as these will weaken the plants vigour. Protect the developing fruit from slugs and snails by spreading straw around each plant. Positioning a net over the plants will also prevent crop damage by birds. The netting and straw can be removed after cropping to allow better air flow around the crown of the plant. Mulch strawberry plants with well rotted manure in spring.

Although strawberry plants will continue to fruit in successive years, the crop will become considerably reduced and it is advisable to completely replace strawberry plants every 3 years.
