With the added bonus of deep pink flowers that smother the plant in summer, this showy variety is not just for the veg patch. The sweet fruits that appear in summer are produced over several weeks.Happiest in full sun, in any good garden soil, great in containers on a sunny patio or at the front of beds and borders, as well as the traditional veg patch. Place straw under the plants to keep the fruits off the soil as they form and feed once a week through the summer with a suitable liquid fertiliser.
