Growing tips

Pre-grow indoors from the end of February to mid-March. Ideal germination temperature 22-25°C/72-77°F. After germination, place in a sunny and very bright window in a cooler place. The less light is available, the cooler the young plants must be kept to avoid overgrowth. Plant out after the last frosts from mid-May. Tomatoes are heavy feeders and need a nutrient-rich planting soil, but over-fertilization with nitrogen should be avoided. This tomato variety also grows outdoors without rain protection or in a well-ventilated greenhouse or tomato house, in pots and tubs on balconies and terraces.
