Available Varieties (subject to availability)

• Albion (Fragaria × ananassa 'Albion'): An everbearing variety renowned for its large, deep red berries. Its firm flesh makes it an excellent choice for container gardening, as the fruit maintains its texture even in high heat.
• Profruit Quatre Saisons (Fragaria × ananassa 'Profruit'): The go-to choice for authentic wild strawberry taste. It performs beautifully in window boxes and planters thanks to its compact growth habit, providing an easy-to-reach harvest.
• Seascape (Fragaria × ananassa 'Seascape'): Stands out for its high productivity and impressive fruit size. While it thrives in the ground, it is highly successful in large pots where its fruit-laden stems cascade elegantly over the sides.
• Lila (Fragaria × ananassa 'Lila'): An exclusive variety prized for its vigour. Its robustness makes it ideal for raised beds and balcony pots, offering a reliable production regardless of weather fluctuations.

In-Ground Gardening

Growing in the ground allows these mature plants to reach their full productivity potential and create a long-lasting edible carpet.

• Soil and Planting: Prefer rich, loose, well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot. Ensure the crown (base of the stems) remains level with the soil surface.
• Fertilization: Amend with mature compost at planting time. Apply a biological granular small-fruit fertilizer every spring and a booster dose in July to sustain production.
• Maintenance: Straw mulch is highly recommended to protect large fruits from ground contact, retain moisture, and suppress weeds.
• Winter Protection: Once the ground has frozen, cover plants with 10 cm of straw to insulate roots and protect buds from freeze-thaw cycles.

Container, Planter, and Large Pot Gardening

The 1-gallon format is perfect for instantly creating productive urban gardens. Growing in containers offers several key advantages:

• Cleanliness and Health: In pots, the fruit naturally hangs over the edge instead of sitting on the soil. This keeps the berries perfectly clean and significantly reduces the risk of rot and fungal diseases.
• Containers and Potting Mix: Use a pot 25 to 30 cm in diameter with drainage holes. Use a high-quality potting mix rich in organic matter.
• Fertilization: Because nutrients leach quickly, apply a liquid biological fertilizer every two weeks, preferably high in potassium, to support non-stop blooming.
• Watering: Containers dry out fast. Water daily during heatwaves to prevent wilting; soil should remain moist but never waterlogged.
• Winter Care: Roots in containers are more vulnerable to hard frost. In the fall, transplant them into the garden or move the container to a cool, dark place (like an unheated garage) after the first frost.
