How to grow Tomato 'Snow White'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Snow White is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Snow White needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Growing Snow White from seed

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Look to ensure a distance 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Snow White

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 Snow White is a tender plant.

Harvesting Snow White

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