- ‘Cambridge Favourite’ – one of the most iconic strawberry varieties, this plant’s fruit is famed for its sweetness and jam-making qualities.
- ‘Elsanta’ – an incredibly popular variety that produces sumptuous large strawberries, known for its disease resistance and for storing well.
- The strawberry plants you’ll receive have been grown right here in the UK by our expert growers, and are ready for you to put in pots, containers or strawberry planters, straight away.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
Karen McEwan
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
