Tomato Lizzano F1 Seeds 8 Seeds Tomato Lizzano F1 Seeds 8 Seeds

At last, genuine blight resistance! Following trials at Bangor University, we can say with confidence that this is the most resistant variety to late blight - (the scourge of growing tomatoes outdoors) that we have seen. A bush type and therefore very easy to grow (no side shooting), Lizzano is equally at home grown in a sunny spot in the garden or in a large container. The fruit, produced in large quantities, is large cherry sized, deep red in colour and exceptionally sweet. (Small-fruited variety for outdoor basket or container growing.) For heated greenhouses sow January onwards and unheated/outdoor March-April at a temperature of 16-18°C (60-65°F). Transplant into 9cm (4") pots. Grow on and for the greenhouse, plant late April-May in large pots, growing bags, or border soil. For outdoors, plant in early-mid June after 'hardening off' plants prior to planting. Plant spacing 45cm (18"). Pinch out sideshoots (other than basket or bush varieties) regularly and when in flower tap or shake plants daily to aid set fruit. Harvest July-mid October. HEALTH BENEFIT: A recognised 'superfood!' Packed with antioxidants including vitamins A & C and lycopene. Also high in vitamin C, stimulating the body's immune system. CULINARY HINT: Try slow roasting for 1½-2 hours in olive oil with sea salt and black pepper. Scrumptious!
