Tomato Artisan Tiger Stripe Mix Seeds
Tomato Artisan Tiger Stripe Mix is an American Heritage cherry tomato that is sure to create excitement with its extraordinary beauty and superb flavour. Fruits are blush, green and tiger pink striped. Well suited for growing in a greenhouse or outside, they will set heavy crops of 2-3cm pear shaped fruits which will hold on the vine for an extended period of time with no cracking.
Artisan Tiger Striped Mix is an indeterminate (cordon) variety so will need pinching out & staking when it reaches the required height and this will encourage the plant into putting its energy into growing tomatoes & ripening fruit. We grow this one in our greenhouse but it can be as equally successful outside.
Please note that you will receive a random mix of the 3 different colours in each packet.

Tomato Artisan Tiger Stripe Mix Vegetable Seed Information
| Seed Quantity: | Approx 15 seeds per pack. |
| Site: |
Sunny, fertile but sheltered spot or in greenhouse/polytunnel.
|
| Indoors or Outdoors | |
| Type: | Indeterminate - Cordon - will require staking |
| When to Sow: |
January to April undercover.
|
| How to Sow: |
Sow seeds thinly in seed trays of seed & potting compost or 2-3 seeds in small pots and cover lightly with a little compost. Firm compost gently and water carefully. Keep in heated greenhouse/propagator at about 15-20C. Transplant into larger individual pots when 10cm tall. 'Harden off' plants for 3-4 days before finally planting them outside from May to June, at a spacing of 45cm between plants. It is best to plant deeply to a depth of 0.5cm below the seed leaves - this helps to give a nice sturdy plant. This variety can also be grown in a greenhouse in a large pot/greenhouse soil or grow bags.
|
| Care: |
Keep protected if frost is forecast with a fleece or a cloche. They require daily watering and feeding with a high potassium, tomato fertiliser once a week when the fruit has begun to set. 'Artisan Tiger Stripe Mix' is a cordon plant that will require staking and support as it produces a heavy crop of tomatoes over a long period. Will require side shoots 'pinching out'.
|
| Harvest: | June to September. |
