Tomato 'Mexicana Hybrid'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Mexicana Hybrid is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Mexicana Hybrid 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. Seeds saved from this hybrid variety are not likely to grow true to the parent plant.

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

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

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

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

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