{"product_id":"col-6x9-str-pegx1","title":"Strawberry 'Pegasus' (Fragaria x ananassa) – Mid-Season Fruiting Plant (12 x 9cm Pots)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePegasus strawberry plants bring reliable, flavour-packed summer fruit to a sunny bed, raised bed or container. This mid-season garden strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) crops in June and July, producing large, firm, glossy, deep-red berries that are sweet and juicy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, each in its own 9cm pot, established and ready to plant. Pegasus is a highly regarded variety and a good choice for first-time fruit growers as well as experienced ones, with good resistance to verticillium wilt and crown rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in moist, well-drained soil enriched with compost, setting each crown level with the soil surface. Space plants 30-45cm apart in rows about 75cm apart. Strawberries also grow happily in pots, grow bags and hanging baskets, so they suit a patio as well as a plot. They are self fertile, though visiting bees improve fruit shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly, especially while flowering and fruiting, and avoid wetting the crown. Feed with a high-potash liquid feed fortnightly once flowers appear. Mulch with straw or a strawberry mat to keep fruit clean and suppress weeds, and remove runners unless you want new plants. Plants tire after three or four years and are best replaced from runners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pegasus Strawberry, Garden Strawberry\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 30-45cm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low-growing, spreading and clump-forming, with runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Borders, raised beds, grow bags, containers, hanging baskets, allotments\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 soil enriched with organic matter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully hardy; plants in pots and baskets appreciate a little protection round the roots in a hard winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit from June to July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KOKE House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54061545095434,"sku":"COL-6X9-STR-PEGX1","price":21.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/2479\/8218\/files\/5_9343200c-6ce4-442c-8941-72c3225507a2.png?v=1793895435","url":"https:\/\/kokehouse.co.uk\/products\/col-6x9-str-pegx1","provider":"KOKE House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
