BIG SWEETIE STRAWBERRY
Fragaria x ananassa 'Adina'
‘Big Sweetie’ is the perfectly named Strawberry – because the fruits are BIG, and very very SWEET.
It blooms prettily with large white flowers, and follows with large, pillar-box red fruits with a sweet and delicious flavour.
Fruiting begins in spring and continues for a long season from spring to autumn.
These delicious Strawberries are low-acid fruit.
‘Big Sweetie’ is considered one of the best strawberries for home gardeners.
Because of the exceptional flavour and sweetness; long and continuous fruiting; and ease of growing.
It is perfect for planting in a pot on a balcony, in a hanging basket or strawberry tower, or rowed out in the veggie patch (plant approx. 30cm apart).
‘Big Sweetie’ thrives in a sunny position, and good quality potting mix in a container, or well fertilized garden soil.
It also enjoys a boost with compost, pelletized or well-rotted manure, and mulch; and will then reward you with even bigger and sweeter fruit.
Quality fertilizer, such as Powerfeed, can be applied in spring, summer and autumn.
We also recommend to water in with Seasol at planting.
Then follow up with regular Seasol foliar feeds to strengthen plant growth, health and resistance, particularly for fruit growing in pots – ‘Big Sweetie’ is a big producer.
Approx. 15-20cm. High x 20cm Wide.
