Tomato Veranda Red F1
The dwarf tomato with big flavour!
British bred, the Veranda Red has taken 15 years to perfect. Bred by the breeder of the Tumbler, it is extremely versatile. The Veranda Red shows good resistance to Fusarium, Verticillium and some blight. Allowing anyone to grow this dwarf tomato with big flavour!
Compared to other dwarf tomato varieties, the Veranda Red has the most delicately sweet flavour, just like a vine tomato you would grow in a greenhouse. Therefore, it comes to no surprise that this variety was loved by Carol Klein at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2019! Early ripening from mid- July this tomato plant will produce up to 75 juicy, 12-16g fruit. Ideal for small pots, baskets or any containers.
