Bushel and Berry® Scarlet Belle Strawberry

The Scarlet Belle™ Strawberry is a unique strawberry plant, a great new addition to the Bushel & Berry® fruit-bush range, that is the most decorative strawberry plant we know. It has bright, scarlet-red flowers, not the usual white ones, and it produces exceptionally dark red berries as well. Flowering begins in May, with the first fruit ripe in June, and flowers and berries continue to develop right into September. It is perfect for cottage gardening, mixed with flowering plants, or for boxes, pots and hanging baskets.

• Unique and beautiful bright red flowers

This is a very hardy plant, surviving in the ground in zone 4. It should be planted in full sun, in rich, moist but well-drained soil. Use houseplant, tomato bush or outdoor potting soils in planters and baskets, and make sure they have drainage holes. Feed regularly with high-potassium liquid fertilizer, such as tomato food. Usually pest and disease free, if you should encounter any problems, use our Neem Oil Spray to quickly control them – it is all-natural and completely non-toxic.
