Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your region.
No, the variety is a cordon type and the tips do not necessarily need to be pinched out, though removing side shoots is recommended.
Yes, they are excellent for growing in large pots (at least 30cm/12 inches diameter) on patios or balconies.
Fruiting typically begins in mid-summer, and the plants can continue to crop until late autumn, sometimes as late as November.
They have a high natural sugar content, which is a key characteristic contributing to their exceptionally sweet and juicy flavor.
Yes, it performs very well in greenhouses and is also suitable for outdoor cultivation in sheltered spots.
This award signifies that the variety has been through rigorous trials and proven to be an outstanding garden plant.
Ensure seeds are within their expiry date, compost is kept consistently moist, and the temperature is maintained at the recommended level (18-21°C).
Provide more light by moving to a sunnier windowsill or using grow lights. Ensure temperatures are not excessively high.
This is often due to inconsistent watering. Ensure the soil remains evenly moist and consider calcium supplements if the problem persists.
Inspect plants regularly. Use insecticidal soap or introduce beneficial insects for biological control. Ensure good air circulation.
Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow thinly in pots or trays filled with seed compost, covering lightly with compost. Maintain a temperature of 18-21°C (65-70°F).
Potting On: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, pot them into individual 9cm (3.5 inch) pots. Grow on in good light and gradually acclimatize to outdoor conditions before planting out.
Planting Out: Plant into grow bags, large pots (at least 30cm/12 inches diameter), or directly into the greenhouse border. Space plants about 45cm (18 inches) apart. Provide sturdy support such as canes or stakes as this is a cordon variety.
Watering: Water consistently, especially during dry periods. Aim to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Feeding: Once fruits begin to set, feed regularly with a high-potash liquid fertilizer every 10-14 days.
Pruning: While tips don't strictly need pinching, remove side shoots (laterals) that grow between the main stem and the branches to encourage larger fruits and better air circulation. Continue to train the main stem upwards.
Compatibility: Suitable for greenhouse cultivation, pots, patios, and can tolerate lower light levels. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil.
