Strawberry 4 Months Collection Pack of 24 Plants (6 of each variety)

GREAT VALUE Collection comprising of 24 plants (6 of each variety):Christine (Early Season) - This strawberry really has it all! Christine is the earliest variety we offer - cropping outside from the first week in June. 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.Sallybright (Mid Season) - This strawberry was bred by Dr David Simpson at East Malling, who named it after his wife! The fruits are large, uniform and shiny and well presented on upright plants, making picking easy. Flavour is superb with just a hint of acid to balance the sweetness and it makes superb strawberry jam. Importantly for the gardener this is another strawberry with excellent all round resistance to disease.Fenella (Late Season) - A first-rate strawberry, producing an impressive harvest of firm, mouth-watering berries that exhibit excellent disease resistance and are particularly rain-tolerant. The glossy, blunt, conical-shaped berries also retain their colour extremely well after picking.Malling Opal (Everbearer) - Probably the best ever 'everbearer' from Dr. David Simpson, which starts to crop earlier than many existing strawberries, and produces the large, sweet and juicy fruit that you would expect from a June bearer. It also produces a consistently heavy yield, cropping steadily from June right through to October - our trials have shown that you can expect to pick around 2-3 lb per week from just 10 plants!All varieties supplied as bare root plants. 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.
