Tomato 'Franchi red pear'

Keep in mind when planting that Franchi red pear is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

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

As Franchi red pear is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
