Tomato Tigerella
Botanical Name: Lycopersicon lycopersicum
30 seeds
Tigerella tomato seeds are the ideal choice if you're looking to grow something a little different. These medium-sized tomato plants are covered in distinctive green stripes, offering a decorative alternative to standard tomato varieties. The plants produce bountiful trusses, guaranteeing you a generous crop of freshly picked tomatoes.
Technically a fruit, but also Britain's favourite summer vegetable, nothing beats the taste of home-grown tomatoes. It's undoubtedly their eye-catching stripes that set these award-winning Tigerellas apart. But they're not all about appearances - with a sweet and tangy flavour, they're perfect for fresh eating, salads, and cooking.
As an indeterminate variety, Tigerella plants will continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season, providing a steady supply of fresh tomatoes. Their adaptability to different growing environments makes them a reliable choice for both greenhouses and outdoor growing.
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, 40cm (16") apart, when frosts are over. Harvest from August onwards.
Genus: Tomato
