Strawberry 'Sweet Colossus' - Largest Ever Berries

The massive berries that arise from this stunning new variety could be the largest strawberries ever and unlike some other 'king sized ' fruits they are simply bursting with flavour too. Sweet Colossus is a traditional June bearing strawberry so will yield most of its bountiful harvest in early summer. The conical berries are sweet and juicy and often weigh more than 40g each. You'll get plenty of them too so overall yields will be very rewarding. Supplied as 6 plug plants.

Care Information - Planting and Maintenance Tips

Strawberries should be planted out as soon as possible - only plant outdoors once all risk of frost has gone. Plant in a sunny and sheltered position in fertile, free-draining soil. Grow this super new strawberry in a row in the garden or plant in containers but be sure to protect from blackbirds as they will love these jumbo strawberries almost as much as you! Poor soil can be improved by adding compost or well-rotted manure prior to planting. Give your strawberries plenty of space. Dig a hole with a trowel big enough to take the roots of the plant. Plant them 45cm (18in) apart, leaving 75cm (30in) between rows - the crown should be level with the soil surface. If you plant strawberries too deep, they might rot, but if you leave the crown protruding from the soil, the plant will dry out and die. Firm your plants in well and water thoroughly.
