Product Description

Red Cherry tomato seeds are a must-have in any vegetable garden or greenhouse. They produce large yields of small, vibrant red tomatoes that taste best when freshly picked. The early-cropping plants are indeterminate, meaning they will keep growing throughout the season, providing a continuous harvest of beautiful cherry tomatoes.

Technically a fruit, but also Britain's favourite summer vegetable, nothing beats the taste of home-grown tomato plants. These juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes can be used in a variety of dishes, from risottos to simple salads with olive oil and basil. They're also ideal for kids' lunchboxes or simply enjoyed straight from the vine.

Our red cherry tomato seeds are prolific and easy to grow, making them an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. They're suitable for greenhouses and can also be grown as outdoor crops after sowing indoors.

Order your red cherry tomato seeds today and enjoy their delicious hand-picked flavour. They're a perfect pair for basil seeds or lettuce seeds.

Sow & Grow

For greenhouse crops, sow indoors January-April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly, 0.5cm (¼") deep, in a pot of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Transplant to individual pots when 10-15cm (4-6") tall. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out April to May to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Harvest: June-October. For outdoor crops, delay indoor sowing until March or April. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into warm, well-drained soil, 45cm (18") apart, when frosts are over. Harvest from August onwards.

FAQs

Do you pinch out red cherry tomatoes?

Yes, pinching out all kinds of intermediate tomato varieties can help control their growth and focus their energy on producing fruit rather than endless stems and leaves. To pinch out your tomato plants, pinch close to the leaf nodes, but avoid damaging them; pinching in the morning is easiest because the plant’s stems will be firmer.

Determinate-type tomato varieties, such as 'Tumbling Tom,' have a naturally determined, more compact size and don't require pinching to control them. These varieties tend to be best for patio containers and novice growers as there is much less maintenance required.

Should I prune cherry tomatoes?

Like pinching out, whether or not you should prune cherry tomatoes is dependent on their determinate or indeterminate growth habits.

Do all cherry tomatoes turn red?

Yes, red cherry tomato seeds ripen to a deep, vibrant shade of red. Not all other types of cherry tomatoes turn red, however: some ripen to shades of yellow or orange or even unusual colours like purple, depending on the variety.
