Tomato Swift Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Swift is an exceptionally early tomato producing medium-sized, round red fruits with juicy flesh and good traditional tomato flavour. With fruit maturing in as little as 54 days, it is particularly useful where the warm growing season is short.
Originating from the high-altitude prairies of British Columbia, Canada, Swift is well adapted to cool temperate conditions. Its ability to crop quickly in cooler regions makes it a valuable choice for gardeners who need tomatoes to ripen before temperatures fall.
Plants have a compact, determinate bush habit and require no staking under normal conditions. Their manageable growth makes Swift a practical choice for smaller gardens and containers as well as cool-climate vegetable plots.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
