Tomato 'Saint Pierre'

Enjoys a full sun position in your garden and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Saint Pierre is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Saint Pierre likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) between Tomato plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

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