Strawberry 'Delician F1'

Apply a liquid feed every 2-3 weeks.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Delician F1 is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. Delician F1 needs a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 to 7.5 (moderately acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Sow seeds thinly, gently pressed into the surface. The seeds should not be covered with compost, but glass and plastic are fine to maintain a well-heated environment. Remove the covering with seedlings appear. When the plants are large enough, transplant into 10cm pots of compost and gradually reduce temperatures to 15°C.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.0 inches (0.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Delician F1 about 60 days before your last frost date.

Harden off and transplant 2 weeks after last frost. The plants should be transplanted to minimum 25cm containers or spaced 20cm apart in soil.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Delician F1 is a hardy plant.

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Delician F1 about 14 days after your last frost date.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by mid summer.
