Tomato 'Old Flame'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Old Flame 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. Old Flame needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

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

Plant to first set of leaves to promote strong roots.

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

Ripe fruit will be red-orange on the bottom, and yellow on top with striping between. The inside is mottled.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in late summer.
