{"product_id":"col-6x9-tom-bal-bas-colx1","title":"Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) – Balcony \u0026 Basket Cherry Collection (12 x 9cm Pots)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCherry tomato plants bred for baskets and containers, this Balcony \u0026amp; Basket Collection gives you compact, trailing and cascading tomatoes for hanging baskets, patio pots, window boxes and balcony planters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 12 plants, each in its own 9cm pot, well rooted and ready to grow on or plant out once the risk of frost has passed. The collection is a mix of tried and trusted varieties such as Cherry Falls, Tumbling Tom Yellow and Red Profusion. Together they give red and yellow fruit from mid-summer into early autumn, so they look as good as they taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are tender plants and a frost will kill them, so plant out in late May or June in a warm, sheltered spot in full sun. Water regularly and evenly, because erratic watering in a pot causes split fruit and blossom end rot, and start feeding with a high-potash tomato feed once the first flowers appear. Being compact and trailing, they do not need the staking or side-shooting that cordon tomatoes do, which makes them easy for gardeners of any experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherry Tomato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solanum lycopersicum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 30-60cm tall, with trailing stems to 60-90cm (variety dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, trailing and cascading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hanging baskets, patio containers, window boxes, balcony planters and raised beds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-green, pinnate, tomato-scented leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early summer onwards, with small yellow self-fertile flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, in a warm, sheltered spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not hardy.
