'Albion' Strawberry (Everbearer) Plants
- June-bearing strawberries are great, but isn't it sad that you only get that one concentrated crop? That's where everbearing varieties like 'Albion' come to the fore, cropping consistently throughout summer and into early autumn, right up until the first hard frosts.
- With their charming conical shape and brilliant taste, 'Albion' strawberries are (unsurprisingly) very popular and considered by many to be the best everbearer. In milder locations and periods, they can even remain evergreen!
- Relatively compact in nature, this variety is a good choice for container growing on patios, terraces and balconies. Both low-maintenance and easygoing, 'Albion' is a fabulous choice for novice gardeners.
- Eat your strawberries fresh, serve them with cream and sugar, or incorporate them into your next trendy breakfast bowl - we tend to scoff them before they've even had a chance to get inside...
- Boasting great resistance to common strawberry problems, like crown rot, this plant isn't going to give you any hassle.
