Our Feedback
Just received my Lemon Grass plants in lovely condition - thankyou. When I rang to ask for expected delivery the lady who answered the phone was very helpful and friendly. Just looked at the rest of your web site and am VERY impressed, will be using you again. (I work as a full time gardener so am not easily impressed but you guys have done it)

Supplied as good-sized bare root plants.
This Product is Available Now.Dating from 1892, Royal Sovereign was probably the pinnacle of Thomas Laxton's strawberry breeding career, so much so he could be considered the 'father' of the modern strawberry. It was an extremely popular variety between 1920 and 1960 and even served at Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation banquet. The fact that it is still sought after is a testament to its versatility.
Although the plants are not as large as modern varieties, the yield a little smaller and its shelf life not as long as some, its superb flavour makes up for all this, and when you're growing your own the taste is the most important factor. This truly is a fantastic strawberry with a wonderful traditional flavour.
The fruits have a high juice content and are very sweet.
Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.
