Description

Cordon. Tomato Rosada has slightly larger fruit than the popular 'Santa' with a more pronounced calyx and a slightly thinner skin with much better resistance to fruit splitting. Exceptional flavour with high sugar and high acids to give that real tomato taste.

Tomato Rosada is best for the greenhouse, but will grow in a sunny spot outdoors. Abundant crops throughout the summer.

Sowing Instructions

Sow February to April. Sow seeds 6mm (¼in) deep in pots or trays of good, free draining, damp seed compost and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place containers in a propagator, or seal in a polythene bag, at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.

Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed

Aftercare

Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.

Kitchen Notes

Deliciously sweet, bite sized fruits straight from the plant.
