• Versatile Fruit: Perfect for eating fresh, freezing for later, or transforming into homemade jams and preserves.

Caring for Your Strawberry Hanging Baskets

• Planting Location: Hang in a sunny spot—these strawberries thrive with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil & Watering: Use well-draining compost. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water more frequently during dry spells.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to maximise yields.
• Pest & Disease Tips: Remove any damaged leaves and check regularly for slugs or aphids. Good air circulation helps prevent mildew.

Planting & Seasonal Advice

• When to Plant: Best planted in spring after the last frost. These pre-planted baskets arrive ready to hang outdoors once temperatures are reliably above freezing.
• Pruning: Trim runners if you want to encourage larger fruit on the main plant. Remove old foliage after fruiting finishes.
• Winter Care: Move baskets to a sheltered spot or insulate roots if harsh frosts are expected.

Icing on the Cake: Usage & Design Ideas

• Add instant colour and edible interest to patios, balconies, or even sunny doorways.
• Create a mini fruit garden by pairing with dwarf blueberries or trailing herbs like thyme and mint—these companions share similar sun needs.
• The compact habit makes these baskets perfect for urban gardeners or anyone short on space but big on taste!
