Strawberry Mignonette      

Approximate Seed Quantity: 20

If you want a steady production of small, dainty, red berries all summer long, then this one is for you. The fruits are sweet with an almond undertone and are borne on neat, bushy, runner-less plants. Perfect for edging and great for hanging baskets. This is an ever bearing variety and they will crop earlier in their second season. Download sowing guide

•          Seeds germinate best after a cold treatment. Place the packet in a freezer for 2 to 4 weeks. Allow to warm up slowly.
•       Sow late January onwards, indoors in trays or posts and cover seed very lightly.
•       Sow direct outside once danger of frost has passed
•           Keep moist and in semi shade at 18°C·
•           Once plants have their second set of true leaves thin them out to a spacing of 10cms and then, when large enough, plant in the garden. Remember to acclimatise them to the outdoors
•            DO NOT plant strawberries where potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, aubergine or raspberries have been grown within three years.
