Roma Red Cherry Tomato Seeds, Ciliegia di Italia Seeds
Red Cherry: Cherry type fruits with an excellent flavour. Fruits are best suited for fresh consumption or sauces.
The name 'Ciliegia' simply translates from the Italian word for cherry. True to their name, the ripe tomatoes resemble cherries in their appearance, reaching a diameter of 1,5-2,5cm and a comparable dark red cherry colouring. Apparently this variety is originally from Sicily and due to its shorter to medium height, these tomatoes grow well in pots and on terraces.
This variety produces prolific, indeterminate vines that bear large, red cherry tomatoes with rich, full-bodied, mildly acidic flavor. Vines need staking.
Tomatoes are best started indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost date. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and keep evenly moist. Optimum soil temperature is 70–90°F, which can be achieved with a heating mat. After 6–14 days, place new seedlings in a sunny window and fertilize every 2 weeks. Harden off your seedlings before planting by placing them outdoors during the day and bringing inside at night. Transplant 18–24 inches apart in rows that are 36–60 inches apart.
