Tomato 'Sungella'

Sungella likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Sungella 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. Planting Sungella in loamy soil with a ph of between 5.0 and 6.0 is ideal for as it does best in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 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 Sungella 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.

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

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late summer.

The name is a mixture of the two parent plants names Sungold and Tangella.

Created by an unnamed plant breeder in Norfolk, England. A cross between a hybrid Sungold and an heirloom Tangella.
