Scientific Name: Fragaria ananassa ‘Temptation’
Height/Width: 20cm x 20cm
Requirements: Plant in full sun and water every day. Don’t let the soil dry out. Apply a liquid fertiliser once they start flowering. Mulch under the strawberries.
Strawberries normally grow from runners that are planted into the ground but ‘Temptation’ is one of those rare varieties that can be grown from seed. It doesn’t produce runners but the flavour of the bright red berries is just as delicious as all of the others.
Growing strawberries is really easy and because ‘Temptation’ is a compact grower it is perfect for planting into hanging baskets, tubs and even old wheelbarrows where they will produce a bumper yield for three years. They will grow just about anywhere in the garden if they get at least 6 hours of sunlight and the soil is nice and rich. The biggest problem is getting to the fruit before everybody else in the family pinches them.
