Fruit and plant
- Tall indeterminate vine that needs staking or a cage and crops through the season

Sow into soil at 16–29 °C
Tomato seed germinates well when the soil stays in its optimum range of 16–29 °C. At 20–30 °C seedlings typically appear in 6–8 days. Indoors, cover the seed with 3–6 mm of seed-starting mix. These figures are typical for the species, not a test of this packet.
Growing on
Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost and plant out once the danger of frost has passed, 50–60 cm apart. Stake or cage the vine. Grow in full sun in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil; water regularly, mulch and prune lightly.
When to expect fruit
Fruit ripens about 75–85 days after transplanting and keeps coming over the season.
What you get
One packet of 10 seeds of Lollipop Sweet Icicle. Tomato seed typically stays usable for 4 years or more when kept cool, dark and dry, so seed you do not sow this season can wait for the next.
