Strawberry Plants 'Marshmello'A fantastic midseason variety, described by French chef Raymond Blanc as the sweetest strawberry he has ever tasted! Marshmello was bred from the cross Honeoye x Hapil and selected for its superb flavour rather than its shelf life. The large, glossy-red berries are not firm enough for the supermarkets but it is a very popular variety on 'Pick Your Own' farms and has become a firm favourite amongst home gardeners. The plants are strong and vigorous with excellent disease resistance.Buy Now
