Know before you buy
Indeterminate plants continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. You will need to provide sturdy stakes or cages to support their continuous upward growth.
For the best results, ensure your plants receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun daily. While they can tolerate partial sun, full sun exposure is necessary for optimal flavor development and fruit production.
No, this variety is not recommended for containers. Because the plants are vigorous and indeterminate, they require the space and root depth provided by a traditional garden bed.
When stored in a cool, dry, and dark location, these seeds have a life span of approximately three years. We recommend keeping them in an airtight container to maintain their 80% minimum germination rate.
Late blight is a common and destructive fungal disease that can quickly ruin a tomato crop. The Damsel hybrid is specifically bred to resist this pathogen, making it a much more reliable choice for gardeners in humid or blight-prone regions.
Plant the seeds at a depth of 0.635 cm in soil that is between 70°F and 90°F. Maintaining this soil temperature range is critical for achieving the minimum 80% germination rate.
