These berries deliver a distinctive full Japanese-style aromatic flavour that is silky-sweet and incredibly fragrant... a world-class variety that will truly impress.

• High fruit quality and exceptional taste

How to grow:

• Sow in spring in seed trays using coir, peat or fine seedling mix
• Seeds are very small - cover lightly, press down gently and keep moist
• Germination takes up to 3 weeks (be patient)

• Plant in full sun in fertile, moist, well-drained soil, spaced 35 cm apart
• Water frequently, especially in containers, and feed every 2 weeks with a liquid fertiliser
• Remove runners from time to time to keep plants neat (or plant them elsewhere)
• Harvest after 120 - 125 days when berries are fully red and slightly firm
