Franchi Seeds of Italy Tomato Marmande Seeds

Tomato Marmande

This is an early indeterminate variety. The tomatoes are flat and slightly scalloped. They have a intense red and meaty texture. They are a great variety for the greenhouse and outdoors.

Sow the seeds indoors on a warm kitchen windowsill or a greenhouse. Sow the seeds in a pot around 0.5cm deep and cover with a thin layer of compost. Keep the pot well-watered and warm. An ideal temperature of 15 – 20C is perfect. The seedlings will start to appear after 7 – 15 days. When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant them into individual pots. Keep them growing on in cooler but not cold conditions. If the plants get too cold they will stop growing and struggle to get going again.
