Tomato Salad Special Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Salad Special produces smooth, globe-shaped red tomatoes to approximately 6 cm across. The medium-sized fruits have a juicy, fleshy texture and classic tomato flavour, with a convenient size that makes them particularly useful for fresh eating.
As its name suggests, this is an excellent salad tomato, easily sliced or quartered for everyday meals. The fruits are also a useful all-purpose size for sandwiches, burgers, roasting and general cooking.
Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, with a later maturity than many tomato varieties. The climbing vines continue to grow and set fruit through the season and require sturdy staking or trellising for support.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing

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.
