Royal Sovereign
from our plotA heritage variety from 1892 with the most extraordinary flavour of any strawberry you'll ever taste — and the most modest yields. This is the strawberry that modern varieties were bred away from in pursuit of bigger, firmer, blander. If you want flavour over quantity, this is the one.
