How to grow Tomato 'Wow'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

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

Growing Wow 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.

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

Transplanting Wow

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

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