How to grow Tomato 'Sunstart'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Sunstart 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. Sunstart needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Growing Sunstart from seed

Seed is sterile or does not come true to plant.

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 Sunstart about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Sunstart

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 Sunstart is a tender plant.

Harvesting Sunstart

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