Tomato 'Iditarod Red'

Keep in mind when planting that Iditarod Red 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.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Iditarod Red is a tender plant.

Named by Sue Bailey of Alaska after the Iditarod race located in Alaska.

Variety was developed between 2006-2011 by the Dwarf Tomato Project.¹ It was developed from a cross between Black From Tula and Budai Torpe.
