Tomato Potato Leaf Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Potato Leaf is an old tomato variety producing purplish-red fruits with good flavour and a useful all-purpose texture. It takes its name from its distinctive foliage, with broad, smooth-edged leaves resembling those of a potato rather than the more deeply divided leaves of most tomato varieties.
Known since at least 1887, Potato Leaf has a long history as both a home garden and market variety. It is particularly noted for performing well in hot climates and heavier soils, making it a useful choice where conditions can be challenging for less adaptable tomatoes.
Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, continuing to grow and produce over an extended season. The fruits are suited to fresh eating, slicing, salads and general cooking, while the climbing vines benefit from sturdy staking or trellising.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: February–August
Subtropics: August–April
Mild climates: August–December
Cold climates: September–December, after frost risk has passed
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.
Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and provide sturdy staking or trellising for the climbing vines. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
