Mr Fothergills Strawberry Red & White Mixed 150 Seeds

Strawberry - Red & White Mixed

This is an exceptional mixture of red and white, amazingly sweet alpine strawberries. Generally fruiting in the first year, they are a must have for patio containers. It has generous crops and the added benefit of birds not recognising the ripe white strawberries.

Sow indoors from January to March. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly on the surface of a small tray or pot of pre-watered compost. Place in a warm, light position. A temperature of 20°C is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant to individual pots when 10cm tall. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions avoiding frosts, before planting out, from May to June, 25cm apart, into warm, well-drained soil, or individual containers, when frosts are over. Harvest from August to October
