Bred in Scotland, Strawberry Symphony offers gardeners the option to extend their production of bright, glossy berries with well coloured flesh after Elsanta and other mid-season varieties have finished cropping. Symphony is a vigorous grower and has good resistance to powdery mildew.
Strawberries are hardy plants that require a sunny posiiton to ripen the fruits. They are fast growing and can be grown in almost any soil. They are also popular in hanging baskets and containers. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced.
These strawberry plants are supplied as bare root runners and should be planted or potted on arrival. On delivery pot on into a minimum of a 9cm pot then grow on until they are considered large enough for planting in their final position. Instructions will be sent with your order.
Later deliveries may be available as fully grown potted plants.
Your strawberry bed should have good drainage and be well tilled with rich organic matter such as manure or compost to give your strawberry plants a good start. Keep your plants well watered until they are established (but don't overdo). Can also be planted in tubs, containers and hanging baskets.
