Strawberry 'Gasana' Variety

Add Colour and Flavour to Your Garden with Strawberry 'Gasana'

Fragaria × ananassa 'Gasana' is a compact, everbearing perennial strawberry that stands out for its ornamental value and edible rewards. Unlike standard varieties, 'Gasana' features vivid pink flowers that brighten your garden from late spring through summer, followed by a generous harvest of sweet, aromatic strawberries.

Why Grow Strawberry 'Gasana'?

• Breathtaking Blooms: Enjoy waves of eye-catching pink flowers from May to September.
• Tasty Harvests: Pick sweet strawberries throughout the growing season—perfect for snacking or adding to desserts and salads.
• Mature Size: Reaches about 20–30cm tall and wide, making it ideal for containers, hanging baskets, or as a border plant.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Plant in early spring or autumn when the soil is workable.
• Light Needs: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade.
• Soil Preferences: Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (5.5–7.0).
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Planting & Care Tips

• Spacing: Allow about 30cm between plants for healthy growth and airflow.
• Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser in spring and after the first flush of fruit.
• Pruning: Remove old leaves after fruiting; trim runners if you want to keep plants compact.
• Pest Protection: Use netting to protect ripening fruit from birds if needed.

Design & Companion Planting Ideas

• 'Gasana's compact habit suits patio pots, window boxes, or borders—combine with herbs like basil or chives for edible displays.
• Create colourful container gardens by pairing with violas or nasturtiums that enjoy similar conditions.
