Striking rose-like red-pink blooms make this ornamental strawberry stand out from typical fruiting types. Bred for both looks and yield, this everbearing, cultivated variety produces sweet fruit from early summer into August. It’s ideal for growing in containers, baskets or window boxes where space is limited but visual appeal matters.
The semi-double flowers of Strawberry Summer Breeze Rose tend to last longer than single-flowered forms, maintaining colour and impact throughout the season. Plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil and can be planted in late spring or autumn. Regular watering and feeding during fruiting keeps them productive.
Compact in habit and easy to grow, this strawberry suits small gardens and patio growing as well as edible-plant-themed borders.

Plants purchased as runners are sent out as dormant bare root plants and should be planted out within a couple of days of arrival. Soak the plants in tepid water for 20 minutes to rehydrate their roots while you dig holes twice the width of the root system. Place the strawberries with the crown level with the crown level with the soil and spread the roots before filling in the hole, incorporating plenty of organic matter.
Plants purchased in pots, and as runners, can be spaced at 45cm (18in) apart, leaving 75cm (30in) between rows. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch around the base, avoiding the crown - they will put on new growth in spring. During warm weather and fruit growth, ensure plants are well-watered. Prevent fruit contact with soil by using a thick layer of straw, or re-usable strawberry collar around each plant. Strawberries can also be planted in tubs, containers and hanging baskets.
