Perfect for container gardens, these vigorous plants require staking or caging to support the weight of their fruitful branches.

Yield: Each plant can produce an impressive number of fruits, with up to 40 tomatoes per stem during the growing season.
Taste: Expect a sweet, tangy flavour profile typical of cherry tomatoes, perfect for snacking and salads.
How to use: Enjoy fresh in salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish. Ideal for roasting or adding to pasta dishes.
Planting tips: Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow after the frost. Space plants 24 to 36 in. apart and provide full sun and well-drained soil.
Harvest tips: Begin harvesting when the tomatoes turn bright red and feel firm to the touch. Regular picking encourages further fruit set.
