Product Description
Cambridge Favourite is one of the most popular garden varieties grown in the UK, and these British bred plants are totally hardy and will provide lbs of strawberries throughout their lifetime. The strawberry runners are ready to plant now and will burst into flower and fruit this summer onwards.
Nothing compares to eating sweet, juicy and delicious strawberries picked from your garden, and Cambridge Favourite reliably produces bumper crops of medium-sized orange-red fruits throughout June just in time for Wimbledon!
Each one has a deliciously sweet flavour and if you can resist eating them fresh from the plant they are perfect for making jams and puddings! Each plant can produce up to 400g (1lb) of strawberries this June and more in subsequent seasons.
They will be supplied as frozen runners so no need to worry about late frosts. They dont look pretty, but each one will have a small bud waiting to burst into life and loads of potential to grow and bear delicious fruit!
Supplied as a pack of 10 Class 1 runners.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- Pick your strawberries first thing in the morning, when fruit is at its juiciest, and pick only ripe red fruit as orange berries won’t have developed their full flavour.
- Pick the strawberries carefully, complete with their stalks and green calyxes.
Care Guide
- Strawberry plants need a good six to eight hours of full sun a day for optimal fruit production, so place your pot somewhere sunny.
- Strawberry containers should be watered daily and will need regular feeding (once a month until blooming) due to the limited amount of nutrients in the pot.
- Water regularly to prevent the plants drying out. When watering, try not to get the fruit wet.
- Feed your strawberry pot at least once a month until flowering and then every ten days with a liquid feed that is high in potassium and low in nitrogen.
- Fruit should be picked as soon as berries are red, if possible, in dry weather, taking care to leave the green stalk in place once fruit is picked.

The plants arrived arrived folded in two and put into a small box I put these in water for a day before planting out one was rotten. After a week planted most have died there?s no way they will fruit this year very disappointed this is the first time I?ve had poor plants.

The plants arrived in a sorry state and upon planting they all died. I usually get good results from Garden Bargains but they failed me this time.

I have previously always been delighted with the plants etc that I have bought from Garden Bargains but unfortunately the strawberry plants I received were in a very poor state of health?.could say almost dead. I have planted them in the hope that something may come through but as yet nothing!!
Product:
Very disappointed, arrived in a very poor state?.looked dead but have planted them hoping for at least one to have survived but as yet nothing. Can?t see me having a crop of strawberries this year that is for sure.
