Tomato 'Red Robin'

Red Robin likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Red Robin 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. Red Robin needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Even though this is a hybrid, it is reported that the seeds will come true for the next generation.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 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 Red Robin about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

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 Red Robin is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early summer.
