How to grow Tomato 'Lemon Cello'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Lemon Cello is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Lemon Cello requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Lemon Cello from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Lemon Cello about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Lemon Cello

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Lemon Cello is a tender plant.
