Tomato 'Isis Candy'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Isis Candy 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. Isis Candy requires a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 - 6.0 - it grows 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 Isis Candy about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high. Plant to first set of leaves to assure good rooting.

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

Expect harvests to start to occur in mid summer.
