Queen of the Night Cherry Tomato

Queen of the Night Large Cherry Heirloom Tomato Vegetable Seeds

Queen of the Night is an extra large cherry sized tomato with exotic coloration that comes from the Rhine region of Germany. The colors range from red, pink, purple, to yellow streaks with dark purple, almost black shoulders. You definitely won't find tomatoes like these at the grocery store. Plants are compact, staying at less than 4FT at maturity. Therefore, it is a great choice for smaller gardens. Fruits have a crisp skin with a delicious savory flavor. This is one of the biggest sized cherry tomatoes I have ever grown. 

Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

TOMATO CHARACTERISTICS
Indeterminate

Color: multi color - red, purple, pink, yellow

Flavor profile: savory and sweet

Average fruit size: large cherry tomatoes

Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. My plants typically get 6-8 feet vines. I have a fertilizing regimen which definitely helps achieve this kind of growth but is not necessary. Adding small doses of an organic fertilizer every week has really helped me take my tomato growing to another level. Synthetic fertilizers can burn or damage plants if used too often. Therefore, I recommend organic fertilizers because they wont damage plants when used often. However, do what suits your garden and the products you like to use. 

This is my current fertilizing regimen: I start by fertilizing weekly with 1/8 cup of Espoma Tomato tone sprinkled at the base of each plant. Once the plants start to bloom, I start alternating the weeks. One week with the Espoma Tomato Tone and then the next week with this recipe: mix 1 cup of Azomite dust and 1/4 cup of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom liquid into a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour some at the base of each plant.

PLANTING

Solanum lycopersicum

Germination: 7-14 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/8” deep

Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots in doors with a heat mat 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you gardening in Florida, we kind of have two opportunities to grow tomatoes per year. You can start them in doors around July 1st and transplant into the garden end of September for fall/winter harvest. Or you can start from seed in doors 6-8 weeks from your last frost date for spring harvest.

Days to maturity: 80 days from transplanting into the garden
