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).
