Sungold, cherry tomato
15 seeds
Cherry tomatoes produced from Sungold cherry tomato seeds inspire rave reviews from growers in many diverse regions. An essential for every garden! Hearty plants produce beautiful tangerine-coloured cherry tomatoes with a rich, fruity and unique tropical taste when left on the vine and picked at optimum ripeness. Winner of the prestigious British Horticultural Society (RHS) Award of Garden Merit.
Vibrant, plump, tangerine-coloured tomatoes droop in long trusses on vigorous vines that keep on producing all summer. First to bloom with early yields. Enjoy Sungold cherry tomatoes as a scrumptious garden snack or as a gorgeous complement to fresh salads. On the flower farm, we especially love adding them to pasta sauces and tomato soup.
Sungold tomato plants are resistant to, or tolerant of, the following tomato diseases: Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt races 1 and 2, Nematodes, and Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
Provide support for vigorous vines that easily reach 6-8 feet long. This variety requires more heat and time to mature completely. Allow fruit to fully ripen on the vine for optimum flavour; fruits should almost fall off the vine when ready.

Start indoors in early spring over bottom heat. When seedlings germinate, remove from the heat and grow under bright lights. Grow seedlings on for 6-8 weeks at around 10°C (50°F). Early season tomatoes can be planted out once night time temperatures are reliably above 7°C (45°F) - or later. Optimal soil temperature for germination: 25-35°C (68-95°F). With bottom heat seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.
Starting
Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep. Keep seedlings under very bright light to prevent legginess. You may have to pot on seedlings more than once before they go out to allow for root growth. Space bush (determinate) transplants 45-60cm (18-24″) apart and vine (indeterminate) types 50-75cm (20-30″) apart in rows 1m (3′) apart.
