Chenopodium / Strawberry Sticks
Approx. 50 seeds
If you want to grow something a little different, Strawberry Sticks is an unusual and attractive edible annual that earns its place in both ornamental and kitchen gardens. The arrow-shaped green leaves can be picked throughout summer and added to salads, while the bright red fruits that develop along the stems resemble tiny strawberries or raspberries and can be enjoyed fresh in autumn. Easy to grow and highly decorative, it makes an eye-catching addition to vegetable beds, edible borders and wildlife-friendly gardens.
Best grown in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil. Although usually grown as an annual, plants may survive winter in mild areas if given protection. Sow where plants are to grow if possible, as larger plants dislike root disturbance.
