Caring for Strawberry Plants

  • Watering is very important especially if you're growing in hanging baskets
  • Soil should be moist but not soaking
  • Feed regularly. A tomato feed is suitable or some type of potassium based fertiliser
  • Mulch plants with hay or clean straw
  • Cover crops early with anti bird netting
  • Remove runners as they develop to focus energy on main plant
  • As Winter nears, cover plants with a layer of mulch to protect over Winter
  • Remove mulch away from plants in Spring
Lovely heavy crop of large strawberries.
Most likely the best strawberries I've ever tasted and so easy to propagate. I already have an extra two plants!
Delighted with plant and the fast delivery. My only concern is with the delivery service....... Thankfully you had it well packaged as the box arrived battered and upside down at my gate..... Even though a sticker clearly stated what was inside and what way to keep box [STAFF NOTE] We do bring this up with the various delivery companies and as you noted, we do go to extra lengths to try and ensure that your items arrive in pristine condition. Unfortunately and this is true for all delivery companies, you are really at the mercy of the individual driver. 99% of delivery drivers do note the labeling and thankfully this is a fairly infrequent occurrence. We're glad that the plants were undamaged and you were happy with us otherwise.
Plants arrived well packaged. They look very healthy. Can't wait for them to start producing strawberries. Will order again.
Order was quick and as informed on the delivery and tracking notice. Everything arrived and was in good order. Overall pleased with the service.
Just received my 20 Elsanta strawberry plants. Very pleased as they are good strong plants, roll on next summer jam making. Thank you, Rob
