How to grow Tomato 'Italian Ice'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Italian Ice 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. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Italian Ice likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Growing Italian Ice from seed

Seed is sterile or will not come true to plant.

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 Italian Ice about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Italian Ice

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 Italian Ice is a tender plant.

Harvesting Italian Ice

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