We have three different varieties for you to choose from, which will produce fruit at different times during the season.
It’s a great idea to grow a few different varieties as this will give you a longer lasting crop (have a look at our Strawberries through the Season collection). However, if you live up in the northern parts of the UK, you might prefer to choose Symphony which is a Scottish bred variety. For those who want to get into jam making, Honeoye is a good option. For those growing in pots, Cambridge Favourite will do well.
The choice is yours – Here’s the lowdown:

Cambridge Favourite
