Never worry about blight destroying your prized crops again, as ‘Crimson Crush’ will ‘crush’ blight, keeping your tasty tomatoes intact and thriving. A cordon F1 hybrid that keeps blight at bay, this salad variety grows large and with great flavour. Thrives when grown outdoors or in greenhouses, providing it gets plenty of sun or heat to intensify the flavour. Height: 200cm (79″). Spread: 50cm (20″).
Growing Information
Pot up, and grow tomato plants on in warm frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24″) apart. Alternatively grow tomatoes in patio bags and containers in good quality compost such as John Innes No. 2. Drive a (5′) cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.
