Product description
Honeyberry Strawberry Sensation gets its name from the strawberry-like aftertaste of the fruit. The berries are actually deep blue-purple in colour and have an elliptical, almost round shape. Honeyberries can be enjoyed straight from the plant and are delicious in jams, desserts, and smoothies. They freeze well, so you can keep your harvest to use throughout the year.
White flowers emerge on the plant in April and are followed by the 2cm fruits throughout June and July. Honeyberry plants flourish in full sun but also grow well in partial shade, although it's likely you'll see less fruit. The plant forms a dense, dome-shaped crown that is easy to care for and doesn't need much pruning.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.
Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Honeyberries need cross-pollination for better fruit production, so plant at least two varieties nearby.
How to Water
Water Honeyberries consistently, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil evenly moist but well-drained. Avoid over-watering to prevent root rot. Mulch around the base to retain moisture.
How to Plant
Plant Honeyberries in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with full sun or partial shade. Space plants 60-90cm apart for optimal air circulation and growth. Dig a hole that’s twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and cover with soil.
