Tomato 'Super Marmande'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Super Marmande 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. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Super Marmande likes to be 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 Super Marmande 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 Super Marmande is a tender plant.

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

An heirloom from the Marmande region of France.
