How to Grow & Care for Fragaria 'Summer Breeze'
Planting Location: Position plants in full sun for best fruit yield, though they tolerate semi-shade. Suitable for UK gardens (USDA zones 4-9).
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. A neutral to slightly acidic pH (6.0–6.5) yields the best results.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially in hot, dry spells—avoid letting plants dry out in pots.
Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser during the growing season to maximise flowering and cropping. Mulch in spring to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Maintenance: Remove runners to retain plant vigour, and trim back old leaves each autumn. Monitor for slugs and birds once fruits develop.
Height & Spread: Plants reach 15–25cm tall on arrival and will fill out to 20–30cm mature spread in containers or garden beds.
