Grow strawberries in your own garden this summer with plants now reduced to £1
Growing fresh strawberries in your own garden, greenhouse or allotment has never been cheaper as this strawberry plant plummets all the way down to £1 in time for summer planting
Whether Wimbledon's approach is making you crave strawberries and cream, or you don't fancy paying supermarket prices for your smoothie ingredients, growing strawberries at home is an inexpensive and rewarding solution. And right now, you can add a strawberry plant to your garden for as little as £1 thanks to this Gardening Express deal.
With plenty of affordable strawberry plants to peruse, Gardening Express is currently hosting a major sale that makes it even cheaper to start growing your own fruit. The Strawberry 'Elan' plant would normally cost a budget-friendly £3.99 but is now reduced to £1 while this offer lasts.
This high-yielding strawberry cultivar, 'Elan,' produces an abundance of big, delicious berries all summer. It is well-known for its strong taste and crisp texture, making it ideal for both cooking and fresh eating.
Producing charming white blossoms that not only enliven your outside area but also herald the advent of juicy fruit that will last until the first frost, this strawberry plant arrives in a 10.5 cm pot that lets you easily pop it into your preferred planter in your garden, on your patio or in a greenhouse.
To achieve optimal outcomes, it's recommended you grow 'Elan' close to blooms that draw beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies. For expert tips on the best pollinators, click here.
It's also suggested that you grow 'Elan' in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Maintain the plant with frequent mulching and watering to help keep moisture levels stable and weeds at bay. With convenient and low-maintenance care required, a home gardener will find 'Elan' to be a lovely choice, as it will yield a tasty and bountiful harvest with adequate care.
If you prefer to shop elsewhere or don't mind paying slightly higher prices, we've found plenty of options to check out. For instance, Thomas & Morgan have this Strawberry Full Season Collection, which starts at £14.99. Meanwhile, You Garden is offering this Preplanted Strawberry 'Sweet Summer' Hanging Baskets for £19.99.
