The fruits of this hybrid strawberry have very deeply set seeds and slightly bumpy flesh that give the fruit a raspberry-like appearance. The strawberry flavour is excellent, the plants have a pleasing upright habit and the fruits are a beautiful dark red when fully ripe.

An excellent pineapple flavoured small fruited strawberry. Produces lots of attractive white fleshed fruits with red seeds.

Fragaria vesca ‘Semperflorens

A clump forming species of wild strawberry that produces lots of delicious perfumed small berries from late May until the first frosts. What they lack in size they more than make up for in flavour! The plants are also much easier to manage than garden strawberries as they don’t produce runners.
