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 and plant out into rich, well-drained soil at pH 6.0–6.8, 50–70 cm apart for air circulation. Stake or cage the vine. It prefers warm, sunny conditions; keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
When to expect fruit
An early variety: fruit ripens about 55–70 days after transplanting.
What you get
One packet of 10 seeds of Strawberry Tiger (Tigerella). 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.
