Tomato Redcurrant

£4.95

The cutest tomato around, these little jewels unsurprisingly have the appearance of a red currant and are similar in size. An early ripening heirloom that continues to produce in abundance all season long, they pack a punch in the flavour department with an intense sweet, yet tart flavour. More closely related to the original wild tomatoes, these plants sprawl or climb with no need for pruning.

Indeterminate/cordon variety but grown like a determinate trailing variety.

Average 20 seeds.

How to grow this seed

Additional Information

Growing Information

Sowing info

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.

Growing info

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.
