Raspberry 'Lowberry Ruby Best'

A great performer in pots, but this variety can also be planted directly into a garden bed, but make sure the soil is free-draining and not prone to waterlogging.

When Your Plant Arrives

• Your raspberry will arrive as an established plant in a 1 litre pot, ready to plant.
• Unpack it straight away and give it a drink of water if the compost feels dry.
• Stand it outside in a sheltered, sunny spot for a couple of days to let it acclimatise.
• Choose a sunny, sheltered position for the best results. This variety is ideal for pots, so use a container that's at least 25-30cm in diameter with good drainage holes.
• Fill it with quality multi-purpose compost, preferably mixed with some well-rotted organic matter if you have it.
• Remove the plant from its pot and gently tease out any matted roots.
• Plant it so the top of the rootball is level with the surface of the compost. Firm in and water thoroughly.

Ongoing Care

• Keep the compost moist, especially during dry spells and while the plant is getting established.
• In summer, pots may need watering daily, particularly when the fruit is developing.
• Avoid letting the compost dry out completely.
• A hardy variety. In colder regions or if grown in a pot, protect roots in winter by moving the container to a sheltered spot or wrapping it in fleece or bubble wrap.
