Tomato 'Orange blossom'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Orange blossom is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Orange blossom needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Seeds are sterile or will not come true to plant.

Aim to sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Orange blossom 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.

Orange blossom is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in early summer.

Hybrid of USA origin.
