    Strawberry plant 'Rumba' – bareroot

    'Rumba' is an early strawberry variety that produces large, deep red, glossy berries with a sweet, aromatic flavour. It produces a consistent harvest and is hardy, making it ideal for both home gardens and larger farms. It is excellent for fresh consumption, jamming and baking.

    These seedlings are bare-rooted, meaning they arrive with only roots and few or no leaves. They should be planted immediately upon receipt to get off to a good start.

    Delivery takes place from week 12.


    Planting

    1. Earth and place

      • Location : 'Rumba' thrives best in a sunny location with good air circulation.
      • Soil : Prefers well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. Amend the soil with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure before planting.
    2. Planting distance

      • Plant with 30–35 cm between plants and 60–70 cm between rows to give them space to develop.
    3. Planting time

      • Plant in early spring or fall. Fall planting gives you a head start for the upcoming growing season.
    4. Planting technique

      • Dig a hole that will accommodate the entire root system without bending the roots.
      • Place the plant so that the growing point (heart) is level with the soil surface.

    Care

    1. Watering

      • Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods and during flowering and fruiting. Do not overwater, as this can cause rot.
    2. Fertilization

      • Use a balanced fertilizer when planting and supplement with a potassium-rich fertilizer during fruit set.
    3. Weed control

      • Clear weeds around the plants to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Mulch, such as straw, helps keep weeds down and the berries clean.
    4. Protection and maintenance

      • Use netting or bird protection to protect the berries from birds.
      • If there is a risk of frost during flowering, cover the plants with non-woven fabric.
    5. Harvest

      • Pick the berries when they are fully ripe and have a deep, even red color. 'Rumba' is hardy and has a good shelf life, making it easy to store for a short time after harvest.
    6. Plant rejuvenation

      • After 3–4 years, the plants can be replaced to ensure continued high yields.

    Tips for successful cultivation

    • 'Rumba' is a hardy variety, but regular watering and nutrition are the key to a bountiful harvest.
    • Plant in raised beds for better drainage and to minimize the risk of soil-borne rot.
    • Rotate the growing location every three years to avoid a build-up of diseases in the soil.

    With its early harvest and delicious taste, 'Rumba' is a reliable favorite for strawberry growing!
