Strawberry Gasana
This extraordinary strawberry variety is both ornamental and edible, producing lovely pink flowers with delicious, sweet fruits. The double blooms grow in a bright shade of pink allowing this strawberry to be very attractive when planted with other perennials or it looks equally great on a veg patch.
Ornamental strawberry plants keep their flowers for longer than their single-flowered cousins. The dark green foliage forms neat mounds with fewer runners, so the focus is to grow delicious fruits. Ideal for the front of sunny borders, patio pots or window boxes. Height: 20cm (8″). Spread: 30cm (12″).
Plant strawberry plants in autumn or late spring in a sheltered, sunny position in well manured, free draining soil. Plant strawberry runners every 45cm (18″) in rows spaced at 75cm (30″) apart. Spread out their roots and place them in the soil at a level where the crown of the plant is just poking above the surface. Avoid planting them too deeply as this may cause them to rot. Alternatively try growing strawberry plants in hanging baskets or in specially designed strawberry planters for the patio.
