Strawberry 'Pink Panda'
The common garden strawberry (collectively known as strawberries) is widely grown for its sweet tasting, juicy red fruit. Strawberry plants are easy to care for and will provide an abundance of first class fruit for a numbers of years. When they come to the end of their fruiting lives they are easily propagated by removing the old plants and planting the runners. 'Pink Panda' is a pink-flowered strawberry and is superb for ground cover or pots, flowering repeatedly from spring to autumn. Berries are edible too. Height to 20cm.

Spring planting of runners
From Early Spring TO Mid Spring
You can plant out last seasons runners in early spring after the frost has gone and the soil has started to warm up. Plant the runners straight into well drained, fertile soil. For an early crop you can plant them under a tunnel cloche.
Autumn planting of runners
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Strawberry runners can be planted oiut in autumn before the soil cools and frost arrives. Plant the runners straight into well drained, fertile soil. For an early crop you can plant them under a tunnel cloche.
Propagate plant runners in Autumn
From Early Autumn TO Mid Autumn
Propagate your strawberry plants in their 4th or 5th year to continue your fruit crop. Simple break of the runners from the main plant and plant straight into well drained, fertile soil. For an early crop you can plant under a tunnel cloche.
Flowering
From Late Winter TO Early Summer
Strawberries produce delicate and intricate white flowers with yellow centres. It is these flowers that eventually develop the strawberry fruit. The flowers start many months before they bloom, as tiny little yellow buds.
