This variety excels grown outdoors in the UK. Developed to thrive in short temperate Canadian summers by modern heirloom breeder Karen Olivier, this deep purple fruit is perfect for our unpredictable climate. It is both juicy and sweet with the depth of flavour you would expect from a dark tone tomato. A treat in salads.
Indeterminate/Cordon variety

Surface sow seeds in small pots of moist, peat-free compost and just cover. Tomatoes are fast growing plants, so best started in mid to late spring. They need heat to germinate, and benefit from lots of light, so supplement both if necessary. Germination takes place within 1-2 weeks.
Once plants reach roughly 20cm in height, start feeding with quarter strength organic feed. Pot on when roots are visible through drainage holes and plant out after last frost. Will require support. Remove side shoots and lower 50% of foliage to maintain straight, healthy plants. Though tomatoes can be grown outside, they will perform better for longer in a polytunnel or greenhouse.
