- Imagine a beautiful hanging basket teeming with gorgeous growth. Nice, right? Well, now imagine that same good-looking hanging basket, but this time, it’s growing the most mouth-wateringly delicious strawberries, too. Woah.
- Certain strawberry varieties are just perfect for putting in a hanging basket or window box, and frankly, we think it’s a crying shame people don’t do it more often – we’re here to change that.
- Our Strawberries for Hanging Baskets collection has been specially designed by our growers not only to look good and provide you with scrummy strawberries, but to save you valuable garden space, as well. We believe that’s what they call: a win-win.
- ‘Pineberry’ – a variety that produces unusual small fruits with white flesh and red seeds and a delicious pineapple taste. They’re strawberries, just not as you know them…
- ‘Mara des Bois’ – this ‘everbearing’ variety will produce fruits for a whopping four months (and sometimes even longer), ensuring a nice, long season of both colour and taste.
- ‘Sonata’ – strawberries with a classic shape and an even more iconic taste. They’re juicy, sweet and utterly, utterly irresistible.
- Strawberry hanging baskets are incredibly easy to set up, and will look glorious in a sunny spot attached to a wall, fence or even your shed.
- These varieties will grow handsomely in your hanging basket and spill attractively over its sides to give a charming, picturesque look.
- Grown right here in the UK by our expert growers, you can be sure that the strawberry plants you’ll receive are healthy, happy and ready to grow.
