Sophie is a late-season strawberry variety that normally crops around two weeks after Elsanta, making it a useful choice for extending the strawberry season.

The plants produce firm, dark red, conical strawberries displayed on long fruiting stems, making the berries easy to see and pick.

Sophie is an unusual variety that is now difficult to find, making it an interesting addition for anyone wanting to grow something different alongside more familiar strawberries.

What Toby thinks:

Sophie is worth growing because of how late it crops and because it has become such an unusual strawberry variety. Planting it alongside earlier varieties gives you another step in extending the picking season.

Why grow Sophie strawberries?

• Late-season strawberry

• Crops after many mainstream varieties

• Firm dark red fruit
