The sweetest tasting, shiny, red-skinned, cherry variety available making the perfect complement to our ever popular orange-skinned Sungold. Ripens early and produces a huge crop of bite-sized red fruits throughout the summer. Best for greenhouse, but will grow in a sunny spot outdoors.

| Sowing depth: | žin |
Sow seeds in pots or trays of good, free-draining, damp seed sowing mix and cover with a sprinkling of vermiculite or sowing mix. Place containers in a propagator, or seal in a plastic bag, at a temperature of 18-21C (65-70F) until after germination, which takes 7-10 days.
Transplant seedlings, when large enough to handle, into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per growbag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors. 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed.
Plants require sideshooting and support for the best yields. Water and feed plants regularly with a high potash feed once the first truss has set.
Flavour guide: Exceptional high sugar/high acid taste.
Tomatoes are packed with antioxidants and high in Vitamin A and C, and lycopene, all helping to stimulate your body's immune system. Deliciously sweet, bite sized fruits straight from the plant.
