Tomato 'Endless Summer'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Endless Summer is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Endless Summer requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date. Seed saved from this hybrid variety is not likely to grow true to the parent plant.

Look to ensure a distance 3.44 feet (1.06 metres) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

Before transplanting, move to a sheltered area outside for a week.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 18°C / 64°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Endless Summer is a tender plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in late summer.
