Fragaria 'Elsanta' (A+) - 2026

Fragaria 'Elsanta' is a popular strawberry cultivar valued for its reliable production of large, firm, bright red fruits with excellent flavour. The plants form low-growing mats of lush green leaves, producing white, fragrant flowers in spring that develop into juicy berries in early to mid-summer. Its compact habit makes it suitable for traditional beds, containers, or raised planters, providing both ornamental and edible value in gardens.

Thriving in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, 'Elsanta' benefits from regular watering and feeding to maximise fruit quality and yield. It is relatively easy to grow and maintain, requiring occasional removal of runners to keep plants vigorous. The flowers attract bees and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity while producing a bountiful crop of tasty strawberries.
