Tomato Flowerball
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Flowerball is a compact Japanese tomato producing abundant small to medium-sized rosy-pink fruits in tight, decorative clusters. The attractive trusses give the variety its name, with masses of fruit forming almost bouquet-like displays on the plant.
The tomatoes are sweet and juicy with relatively mild acidity, making them particularly enjoyable eaten fresh from the plant or added to salads, platters and light cooked dishes. Heavy production combined with its compact growth makes Flowerball a useful choice for smaller gardens and containers.
A determinate variety, plants remain manageable in size and produce their crop without the continual vine growth of climbing tomatoes. Little training is required, although support can be useful once the branches become heavily laden with clustered fruit.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.

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. Bush plants require little training, although support may be useful under a heavy crop. 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.
