Tomato 'Patio Prize'

Patio Prize likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Patio Prize is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Patio Prize requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 - 6.0 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Seed is sterile or will not come true to plant.

Ensure a distance of 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

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 Patio Prize is a tender plant.

Expect harvests to start to occur in early summer.
