Know before you buy
While these heirloom varieties are generally vigorous growers, they can be grown in containers if you use large pots—at least 5 to 10 gallons—with adequate drainage. Ensure your containers are placed in a location that receives full sun for at least 6 to 8 hours a day.
Yes. Because these are open-pollinated heirloom varieties, you can harvest and save the seeds from your ripe tomatoes to plant in future seasons. They will grow true to type, provided they haven't cross-pollinated with other tomato varieties in your garden.
Open-pollinated seeds are pollinated naturally by insects, birds, or wind. This means the plants will produce seeds that grow into plants identical to the parent, allowing you to reliably save seeds year after year.
Yes, these heirloom varieties are productive and will require support to keep the fruit off the ground. We recommend using sturdy tomato cages, stakes, or trellises to manage their growth and ensure good airflow, which helps prevent disease.
No, these seeds are not certified organic. However, they are non-GMO and sustainably sourced from reputable seed stewards within the USA.
These should be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your area's last expected spring frost date. Once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, you can transplant them into your garden.
