Leo Alba Strawbs

My original Leo Alba was a tiny little plant when I bought it from Homebase last year but I was drawn to it by the picture of small white strawberries on the front.

I had a good harvest of berries, getting handfuls later on in the season. From that tiny £2 plant, it grew to fill a large square box which I overwintered, I also harvested some seeds which I planted in late January in a windowsill propagator. From those I grew around 15 plants which have filled a large long and two round planters.

Now they're all coming into flower and my original has even got a few berries on the way.
