How to grow Tomato 'Campari'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Campari is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Campari needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Campari from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Seeds saved from this (hybrid) variety are not likely to grow true to the parent plant.

Sow 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

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

Transplanting Campari

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

Campari is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
