Red Gauntlet is a reliable, heavy-cropping strawberry variety known for generous harvests over a long season. The plants are vigorous and productive, producing bright red, medium to large fruit with firm flesh and a classic strawberry flavour. A popular older commercial variety, Red Gauntlet is a great choice for home gardeners wanting dependable results in garden beds, pots, hanging baskets, or strawberry planters. Plant in a sunny position with rich, well-drained soil, keep well-watered through dry weather, and allow the fruit to fully ripen on the plant for the best flavour.

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.
