Soft Fruit
Liven up your garden borders and add a productive quality to your ornamentals with the addition of soft fruits into your planting scheme.
We have many easy-to-grow, flavoursome soft fruit varieties, from strawberries suited to hanging baskets through to thornless hybrid berries - all tried, tested and selected by us here at Victoriana.
If we had the time and you had the inclination, we could write several volumes on soft fruit! But all you need to know about our assortment of soft fruit is that we've put a great deal of time and effort into providing you with what we believe to be the choicest selection of each soft fruit variety.
Most of the soft fruits in our listing can easily be accommodated in a garden border, bringing an interesting twist to your ornamental planting scheme. For example, how about a hybrid berry that not only looks the part of a stunning climber, but also fruits after it flowers? Or perhaps a pretty spring-flowering shrub that, in summer or autumn, produces a wealth of juicy berries for a satisfyingly refreshing dessert or smoothie?
With our range of soft fruits, you can take your planting scheme to a new level and enjoy the combined benefits of a plant that flowers and fruits, even if space is at a premium. That's because, without exception, all of our soft fruits are suitable for growing in pots or containers - and of course our Rambling Cascade Stawberries are wonderful in hanging baskets!
Although we choose our soft fruit varieties primarily based on their flavour, you will also find that many of the varieties that we do list have some practical growing characteristics. For instance, in our soft fruits listing, most of the hybrid berries we offer now have a thornless 'option' - great news for those who don't relish the prospect of being shredded whilst picking! And with several varieties of primocane raspberry in our range, complicated pruning need not be a worry!
