Botanical Name: Lycopersicon lycopersicum

Roma Plum tomatoes are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to grow their own cooking tomatoes. These plum tomato seeds are prolific heavy croppers, producing an abundance of fleshy, deep red plums that are almost seedless. Their semi-determinate nature means they don't require as much staking or space as other varieties.
Technically a fruit, but also Britain's favourite summer vegetable, nothing beats the taste of home-grown tomatoes. The Roma plum variety's dense, seedless flesh is ideal for making thick, delicious sauces without much prep work. Their meaty texture and rich flavour make them perfect for pasta sauces and all your favourite tomato-based recipes.
Our Roma VF plum tomato seeds are a reliable and easy-to-grow option for any home gardener, so don't be put off as a beginner. They're a traditional choice, perfect for cooking, reducing, and preserving, so you'll always have fresh ingredients on hand.
For greenhouse crops, sow indoors January-April. A warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow thinly, 0.5cm (¼") deep, in a pot of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Transplant to individual pots when 10-15cm (4-6") tall. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out April to May to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border. Harvest: June-October. For outdoor crops, delay indoor sowing until March or April. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out into warm, well-drained soil, 45cm (18") apart, when frosts are over. Harvest from August onwards.
Genus: Tomato
