Tips for Growing Floradade Tomatoes

Sow indoors or under cover in large cell trays at least 6 weeks before planting out for best results. Sow at ¼ inch depth and keep cells moist and under light for at least 8 hours per day. Keep soil warm, at least 75 degrees during the germination period.

Floradade tomatoes are determinate, which means they will need little to no pruning and will not vine extensively. If you have a longer season, you can sow them sequentially to ensure a longer season.
