I'm thinking about splashing out on some runners of this variety. Has anyone grown it or have any comments before I hit the 'buy now' button?
I'd like the plants as it's an ever-bearer and reportedly has that intense wild strawberry flavour. I've already got some early strawbs (ciflorette) and have today bought 6 very sturdy plants of 'hapil' that should give me plenty of runners, too.

Yes it has a very good flavour Vivienz and produces a nice late crop. It isn't a large fruit but is definitely worth growing.

Mine are sat in the greenhouse flowering merrily, first time I've grown them, got my plants a while ago now as bare roots plants, all the plants took really well.
