Key Points
Late Primocane Variety: Raspberry Polka is a late primocane variety, meaning it produces fruit on both new and old wood. This characteristic allows it to start cropping from mid-August and continue bearing fruit until November.
Pollinator-Friendly: The variety is loved by pollinators, which is beneficial for overall garden ecosystem health and can enhance fruit production.
Disease Resistance: Raspberry Polka is noted for its disease resistance, which can contribute to a healthier and more robust plant.
Sun Preferences: It prefers full sun, indicating that it thrives in locations with ample sunlight. However, it also mentions a preference for part shade, suggesting some flexibility in its light requirements.
Awards and Recognition: Raspberry Polka has been selected as the leading raspberry variety at the National Fruit Show in Kent for four consecutive years, indicating its exceptional qualities and performance.
Fruit Characteristics: The fruits of Raspberry Polka are described as exceptionally large with a superb aromatic flavor. Additionally, the variety is known for very heavy cropping, producing up to double the yield of Autumn Bliss, one of its parent varieties.
Support Requirements: In sheltered gardens, the canes of Raspberry Polka may not require supporting, which could simplify maintenance.
Early Cropping: This raspberry variety is noted for commencing cropping at least two weeks earlier than Autumn Bliss, providing an advantage in terms of an earlier harvest.
Overall, Raspberry Polka appears to be a high-performing and versatile raspberry variety, offering benefits such as extended cropping, disease resistance, and exceptional fruit quality. Gardeners interested in growing raspberries may find this variety to be a valuable addition to their fruit garden.

Recycled Growing Media
At Lincs Plants, we’re proud to use a recycled, peat free growing mix that’s made right here in Lincolnshire. It’s made from coir with around 20% silt loam added in.
The coir keeps the mix light and free draining, while the silt loam adds structure and helps hold moisture and nutrients. By recycling used media and using locally sourced materials, we cut down on waste and reduce the need for imported peat based composts.
This home grown mix is part of our commitment to sustainable growing and supporting local production wherever possible.
At Lincs Plants, we operate from two main locations. When you place an order, we prepare and pack plants across both sites depending on what you’ve ordered.

During our peak periods, we can process up to 3,000 orders a day across multiple departments. Each department either supports a main packing team or packs orders directly.
We have five collections a day, so orders can leave throughout the day as soon as they’re ready.
During busy times, if we experience any delays, we’ll post updates on our social media and website to give everyone a heads up. This helps keep customers informed if there’s likely to be a delay of a few days.
