Tomato 'Kotlas'

Typical tomato instructions – open sunny positions, with light to heavy soils with good drainage and high quantities of organic material and phosphorus. Sensitive to frosts. Water in furrows rather than overhead to reduce disease, do not over-water.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Kotlas is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Kotlas likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Sow anytime in frost free areas, can sow indoors 5 weeks before transplanting in cooler areas or after last frost.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) between Tomato plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

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 Kotlas is a tender plant.

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