Description
Strawberry Elsanta is a popular mid-season Dutch variety and one of the most widely grown strawberries in the UK. It is well known for its large, glossy red fruits and superb sweet flavour, with a firm texture that makes it ideal for fresh eating, desserts and summer puddings. The berries ripen in mid-summer and are produced in generous quantities, making Elsanta a reliable choice for home growers. Its excellent firmness and long shelf life have also made it a favourite with supermarkets.
The plants have a vigorous growth habit, producing healthy deep green foliage and large white flowers before fruiting. Easy to grow and harvest, Elsanta is especially suitable for beginner gardeners. It performs well in garden beds, raised beds, containers and grow bags, delivering consistent crops year after year when grown in the right conditions.
