Here's a great new strawberry variety that's just packed with flavour! 'Sweet Summer' gives a heavy crop of large conical berries which are firm yet superbly sweet and juicy. It's an 'everbearer' variety which means the plants are not affected by day length and so just keep on cropping right through summer and into autumn, often as late as the first frosts, each one giving as much as kilo through the season so you'll pick loads from this pack of plants. As the growing plants produce few runners they stay nice and tidy and are perfect for container growing too. Plants are not troubled by disease and very easy to grow. If you are looking to pick sweet juicy fruit throughout the warmer months this is the perfect strawberry to choose.

'Elsanta' is one of the tastiest and most popular varieties of strawberry that you can grow at home and one of the leading commercial varieties, favoured for their juicy fruit and earlier, heavy cropping. Perfect for growing in patio pots and containers when you're short of space, the plants will begin to flower in June and produce fruit ready for picking in just a few short weeks - continuing up until around the middle of July - weeks-worth of mouth-watering fruit! Not only does 'Elsanta' produce bright and shiny orange-red fruits, but it produces pretty little flowers in the spring and rich deep-green foliage creating a very pretty ornamental plant in between fruiting seasons. The reproduction silver effect planter, is lightweight polypropylene and made with gardeners in mind, so you'll find that they combine good looks with functionality, having raised drainage holes and an internal reservoir to keep moisture in your pots for longer. Plus, as they're UV and frost resistant, they'll last for years, meaning that you can use them over and over again. The stylish wheat design has been brush painted to give an aged metallic look, creating the impression that you have a much more expensive planter, and is a decorative feature in its own right which you can use for many years to come. They're the perfect planting companion for Elsanta, where both pot and plant can bring out the best in each other, creating a fruitful, designer-style effect in no time at all.
'Buddy' is recent introduction to everbearing strawberries and is taking the supermarket world by storm. Now we are delighted to be able to offer it to the home gardener to grow themselves. Everbearing Strawberries are great for spreading strawberry fruit production out. Starting slightly later than the Wimbledon peak, they have a big yield in mid to late July, but then keep going through August - peaking again in September and continuing to crop until first frosts! This makes eating and using the crops easier, not one huge glut! Everbearers have historically not been quite as good on the taste scores as traditional 'June bearers', but 'Buddy' breaks the mould here. It produces big fruit with great taste, and is the sweetest of any everbearer to date (winning many taste-tests), hence its popularity with supermarkets. And it is a great cropper too - commercial trials showed almost 1Kg per plant in year 2 and 3 (just over 2 pounds per plant). 'Buddy' also has good mildew resistance too, so suits home garden production, where none of want to use chemicals if not needed. Let Buddy become your best friend in strawberries this year.
