Delivery Information View Product DescriptionLoading...Description How to Grow More Info DeliveryFrom the latest breeding in 'ever-bearing' varieties, Strawberry 'Albion' begins cropping in June and continues in flushes until the end of October! Each strawberry plant is capable of producing 450g (1lb) of tasty fruit each year! The heavy crops of mouth-watering, sweet, dark-red berries have an outstanding flavour that remains consistent throughout the summer. Better still, this vigorous variety has improved disease resistance to verticillium wilt and crown rot.
Cropping periods can also be brought forward or extended if you are growing them in a greenhouse or polytunnel. Strawberry 'Albion' is well suited to growing in containers for a space saving crop on the patio. Height: 20cm (8"). Spread: 30cm (12").

Plant strawberry plants in autumn or late spring in a sheltered, sunny position in well manured, free draining soil. Plant strawberry runners every 45cm (18") in rows spaced at 75cm (30") apart. Spread out their roots and place them in the soil at a level where the crown of the plant is just poking above the surface. Avoid planting them too deeply as this may cause them to rot. Alternatively try growing strawberry plants in hanging baskets or in specially designed strawberry planters for the patio.Water strawberries frequently throughout the growing season and weed regularly between rows. When growing strawberry plants in baskets and containers, they will also need feeding every two weeks.
From early summer, remove any runners that are produced as these will weaken the plants vigour. Protect the developing fruit from slugs and snails by spreading straw around each plant. Positioning a net over the plants will also prevent crop damage by birds. The netting and straw can be removed after cropping to allow better air flow around the crown of the plant. Mulch strawberry plants with well rotted manure in spring.
Although strawberry plants will continue to fruit in successive years, the crop will become considerably reduced and it is advisable to completely replace strawberry plants every 3 years.
