Description
The name’s the game: Gray-green leaves covered in soft down, and pointy, crimson fruit with golden stripes characterize this showpiece variety. Our bush tomatoes should be protected from rain and placed under a roof overhang, for example. They do not need to be thinned out or tied up, as they grow determinately. Growing in pots (at least 5 L volume) and on the balcony is highly recommended.
Location requirements
Moderate requirements for fertilization and watering, sunny and airy and protected from direct rain.
Sowing
From mid-February. The aim is to plant flowering and frost-free. Sowing depth 0.2 – 0.5 cm.
Germination

Plantation
After the first leaf has formed, prick out and pot up. The plant should be covered with soil just below the cotyledons to allow sufficient roots to form.
