DESCRIPTION

Philamina is a reliable outdoor tomato variety that produces small, firm fruits with an intense colour. The sepals stay strongly attached, giving the fruits an attractive “fresh picked” look and making them easy to harvest. This variety is also valued for good keeping quality after harvest.

If you want an early crop and a long harvesting window, Philamina is an excellent choice. Start seeds indoors in late March to early April and give seedlings plenty of light. Transplant outdoors in late May to June once nights are warm. Choose full sun and a sheltered position, provide support, and keep soil evenly moist.
