How to grow Tomato 'Red burnley'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

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

Growing Red burnley from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.39 inches (1.0 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.

Transplanting Red burnley

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

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