Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors: Sow seeds in trays or small pots filled with fine seed compost from February to April. Cover lightly, water gently, and maintain a temperature of 18–21°C. Once seedlings are strong, prick out into individual pots and grow on in bright, warm conditions.

 

Outdoors/Greenhouse: Harden off seedlings after the last frost and transplant to a sunny, sheltered location. Space plants 40–50 cm apart and provide minimal support if necessary. Feed regularly with a high-potash fertiliser once flowering begins to encourage abundant fruiting.

 

Regular harvesting promotes continuous production, and the shiny, vibrant fruits of Shimmer H make it an attractive and productive addition to any garden.

 

Tomato Shimmer F1 is perfect for gardeners seeking an early, disease resistant, compact tomato with striking fruits and dependable yields.
