{"product_id":"col-6x9-str-flox1","title":"Strawberry 'Florance' (Fragaria x ananassa) – Late Fruiting Hardy Fruit Plant (12 x 9cm Pots)","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrawberry 'Florance' is a high-yielding, late-season strawberry that extends the harvest well into late summer, with large, firm berries and a sweet flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlorance is a hardy, low-growing, spreading plant that sends out runners. It suits kitchen gardens, raised beds, borders, containers and hanging baskets, and the bright green leaves are neat enough for a pot by the back door. Bees and other pollinating insects visit the flowers, which helps the fruit to set. Florance also has good resistance to verticillium wilt and crown rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, each in its own 9cm pot, well rooted and ready to plant. Choose a sunny spot with moist, well-drained, fertile soil, and space plants 30-40cm apart so air can circulate. Plants in pots and baskets appreciate a little protection round the roots in a hard winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly in dry spells and while the fruit is forming, and feed with a high-potassium liquid fertiliser once flowering begins. Mulch with straw to keep the fruit clean and hold moisture, and remove runners unless you want new plants. In containers, use a good quality peat-free compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strawberry 'Florance'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fragaria x ananassa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 20-30cm tall and 30-40cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-growing and spreading, with runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kitchen gardens, raised beds, containers, hanging baskets and borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green, trifoliate leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained, fertile soil, slightly acidic preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late season fruiting, July to August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late fruiting hardy perennial fruit plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061545062666,"sku":"COL-6X9-STR-FLOX1","price":21.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/5_28831fa6-4b83-48e9-a910-31444442e38c.png?v=1793895430","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-6x9-str-flox1","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
