Brilliant scarlet fruits, 12 or more ounces in size, have incredible taste. Excellent disease resistance and less cracking. Perfect for use in soups, salads, or sauces.
SOWING:
Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Cover seeds with ¼ inch of seed starting mix. Keep evenly moist and supply bottom heat to hasten germination (70°–75°F). When plants emerge, supply 10 to 14 hours of light from direct sun or grow lights.
THINNING:
When plants are 3 inches tall, transplant into individual pots or 3 inches apart in trays. After danger of frost has passed, harden off the plants. Transplant each into the garden 18 to 36 inches apart. When transplanting, remove bottom leaves and bury the stem deep into the soil. The “hairs” will turn into roots and supply the plant with better support.
GERMINATION:
Germinates in 7 to 21 days depending on soil and moisture conditions.
REMARKS:
Due to its large fruit, these plants require sturdy support. Add tomato cages or support stakes.
