Description

Marshalls Garden Cambridge Favourite is a main June-bearing strawberry variety from the late 1930s, known for reliable, heavy crops of medium-sized light-red fruit. Versatile and easy to grow, it performs well in beds, pots, grow bags and hanging baskets and tolerates a wide range of soils and conditions. The variety has excellent resistance to phytophthora and fusarium crown and root rot. Plants reach about 20–30 cm, prefer full sun and fertile, well-drained soil (pH 5.5–6.8). For best results, plant plugs or bare-root runners with the crown at soil level, space rows about 45 cm apart or use three runners in a 30 cm container, and keep the soil consistently moist.

Product Care InstructionsHow to grow Strawberries  Once your plug plants have been delivered, remove them immediately from their packaging. Place them in a shallow dish of water for a few minutes to soak the plug of compost. Ideally, these should be potted on immediately but if this is not possible then place them somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight but still bright. If delivery is Spring to Autumn, then place outside and keep the plugs moist, same for Winter but don't let the plugs freeze before planting.  Planting out Strawberry Plugs: Strawberry plugs are mature enough to be planted straight into their final position. ie grow bags, strawberry beds, patio containers or even large hanging baskets. Make a hole similar size to the plug. Plant to the same level as the original plug, keeping the crown above the soil surface, so moisture doesn't sit in the crown and cause rots. Firm the soil around and water in well. Plugs plants can be grown on if you wish, to make a larger more rooted plant. Fill a 9cm pot with peat free compost and follow the instructions above, grow these on is cold greenhouse, cold frame or just outside in the garden. Once new growth appears and you can see new white shoots appear from underneath the pot, they are ready to be planted into their final position.  Bare Root Runners: Strawberry runners can be planted as soon as you receive them but delay planting if soil is waterlogged or ground is frozen.  Soak the bare root runners in a bucket of water to hydrate the roots while preparing the planting hole.  We recommend planting approximately 45cm apart if planting in rows, or choosing a good patio container, using 3 runners in a 30cm container. When planting, ensure the crown is at soil level (the plant will rot if too deep, and too high the crown will dry out).  Spread the roots out in the hole and refill, firming the soil back around the roo
