Strawberry Plants 'Royal Sovereign' (12 plants)

Strawberry Plants 'Royal Sovereign' (12 plants) Code: STR017

£20.95 inc. p&p 20.9500 In Stock New

Fragaria x ananassa 'Royal Sovereign'

Dating back to 1892, this traditional midseason variety has the most delicious, intense, sugar-sweet strawberry flavour. It has always been considered the best flavoured variety and was the most widely grown strawberry from 1920 until 1960. Its reputation has survived amongst knowledgeable gardeners and it maintains a substantial following to this day. The plants are small with minimal ‘60 day’ yield but will produce good crops of attractive berries in the second year. Well worth the wait, the flavour is out of this world and will bring back memories of strawberries from days gone by.

Bred in the U.K.  RHS Perfect for Pollinators


Season: mid Summer (mid June - mid July).


Available for delivery: October - late November (fresh dug plants), March - early July (coldstored plants). We are now taking orders for Spring delivery.


 

If you have ever grown your own strawberries before you will know that the aroma and flavour is far superior to that of shop bought fruit. What’s more, they take up a minimum amount of room and are easy to grow. All they require is a sunny, sheltered spot. Plants can be spaced 30cm (12in) apart in the open ground. Alternatively they can be grown in growbags (10 plants per growbag), or in hanging baskets or containers.

 

Our hand graded strawberry plants are raised on selected sites in the UK under the Plant Health Propagation Scheme (PHPS) and are guaranteed to be free from pests and diseases.

 

Unless otherwise stated in the product description, fresh dug strawberry runners are available from mid October to late November and will crop the following season. Coldstored strawberry plants are available from March to early July. These will crop 60-90 days after planting. Please note, some varieties (where stated in the product description) are only available as coldstored plants.
