Tomato Seed Primabella

Bred in Germany, this new cherry tomato has possibly the highest resistance to tomato blight (Phytophthora infestans) of any variety and is very well suited to outdoor growing where it will thrive. Interestingly, the fruit has a better flavour if grown outside rather than indoors!

We first trialled this variety in 2013 and found it to be extremely strong-growing - outperforming all our other outdoor tomatoes with the exception of its cousins from the same breeding program, Clou and Primavera.

The bright red fruits have a crisp texture and a lovely sweet and juicy flavour. Hanging in dense bunches almost like grapes, the fruits are early to mature (early July outside is not unusual).

The plants are vigorous and robust in habit.

• This is an indeterminate variety and best grown as a cordon (vine).
• For best flavour, yield and size of fruit grow outside and stop at the 5th or 6th truss.
• Whilst the best crops will be grown outside, this variety can also be grown under protection.
