Melba is an Australian-bred strawberry variety prized for its large, conical fruit, sweet flavour, and attractive appearance. A day-neutral variety, Melba can fruit over an extended period when temperatures are favourable, making it a great choice for gardeners wanting more than a short seasonal flush. The plants focus more energy on fruit production than runner growth, producing consistent, high-quality berries that hold up well in rain. Plant runners in a sunny position with rich, well-drained soil, and mulch well to keep fruit clean and protected.

Growing Information
How to Sow
Plant strawberry runners in a sunny, well-drained spot with rich soil. Position each runner so the roots are spread out and the crown sits level with the soil surface, not buried. Space plants apart to allow good airflow and room for growth. Water in well after planting and keep the soil consistently moist while the plants establish. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep developing fruit clean.
