A blight resistant variety that specialises in outdoor growing, which miraculously, despite the large, beefsteak style sized crop, tastes sweet like a cherry tomato! ‘Crimson Blush’ is perfect for slicing for bbq burgers and sandwiches, or dicing up for salads. You don’t need lots of space to grow, as this is a grafted cordon variety, allowing for patio pot growing on balconies or small lawn-less spaces. Alternatively, it also grows well in greenhouses, or outdoors where it tolerates wet weather well. 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.
