How to grow Tomato 'Datterino'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Datterino is generally regarded as a tender plant, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Datterino needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing Datterino from seed

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 Datterino about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Datterino

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

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

Harvesting Datterino

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