Bush (Determinate). The Tumbling Tomato! Ideal for growing in baskets, containers and windowboxes. Tomato Gartenperle produces a heavy crop of delicious 'rosy red' cherry sized fruits that will tumble over the sides from early in the season and continue throughout the summer. Gartenperle is easy to grow, naturally trailing, needs no stopping or sideshooting.
Sow seeds indoors: January to March. Sow seeds outdoors: March to April, thinly on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Lightly cover the seeds with vermiculite 6mm (¼ inch) deep. Place in a propagator at 18-20C (64-68F) until germination, usually 7-14 days.
Transplant seedings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3 inch) pots. Plant in final situation when 20cm (8 inch) high, 45cm (18 inch) apart. For indoor crops Plant finally into growbags, pots or baskets in the greenhouse. For outdoor crops Acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions for a few days before planting into containers or direct into a sunny, moist, fertile and well drained site.
No support or sideshooting required. Harvest July to October.
