Shears Nursery hanging basket strawberry plants

Strawberries grown in hanging baskets, or
containers mean better fruit, and there is no
taste like true English strawberries! The worst
offender with strawberries is
the slug! In baskets
strawberries are
well out of the way !

Growing them is easier than
growing summer flowers,
as they can take allot
of battering from the
elements. All they
require is lots of water
and a feed every week.

As seen on 'Jamie Olivers'
food program on Channel 4
'Jamie at Home' this variety
is very productive and if watered
over winter, will produce fruit again next
year! No need to refill the basket!

This new strawberry is only available from us from
varieties developed in the United States and
Spain.

Sold in packs of 6, these
large young plants are ready
for planting into hanging
baskets or large pots,
containers, etc. You can
rest large containers on
walls away from slugs.

Each pack comes complete
with planting and cultural
instructions to give your
plants the best start in life.

NOT AVAILABLE AT GARDEN CENTERS !

These Strawberries should flower and fruit the first year. Fruits are borne
throughout the summer and autumn and, being a perennial, plants fruit
again in future years. They prefer a moist and shaded position, an
advantage in itself as most gardens have such a spot normally growing
nothing better. And tempting your barbecue guests on the patio will be
when they see the large and luscious fruits hanging in bunches from their
smart containers. Sweet, juicy, aromatic and sensibly sized (up to 2
ins.), they are dark red and are borne continuously on vigorous but
compact plants from July to first frosts. As well as being great for
hanging baskets, they can, of course, be grown the traditional way � in
beds! All you�ll need is a cow to provide the cream!

Plant ANY time of the year, except when there is a frost. If very cold
weather is forecast, you can plant up into pots and grow on in an
unheated conservatory or greenhouse, or sunny windowsill.
If you are unfortunate enough not to produce fruit the first year, do not
throw away your plants, keep them until next year when they will
produce at twice the quantity of fruit the second year.

Plant 3 in a 12" hanging basket or similar size pot on the patio. If
planting in pots raiseslightly above the ground, to avoid the fruit getting
damaged.
