Container fruit seeds — fruit for pots, patios and balconies

No garden? No problem — plenty of fruit can be grown from seed in pots on a patio or balcony, from alpine strawberries to compact melons and tumbling tomatoes. Browse the container-friendly picks within our fruit seed range. New to fruit from seed? Our fruit growing guide covers the basics.

Container fruit still needs the right sowing time — the calendar shows when.

The best fruit for pots

Alpine and compact strawberries are the classic patio fruit, brilliant in pots and our hanging baskets; small-fruited melons and cape gooseberries also do well in a large container in a sunny spot.

Growing fruit in containers

Use a good-sized pot of fresh, fertile compost, keep it in the sunniest position you have, and water and feed regularly — containers dry out fast. Pots also make it easy to move tender fruit under cover when the weather turns.
