Product Information Chevron Down Chevron Forward

The Tomato, Cherry Mix F1 Hybrid Seeds offer a delightful blend of vibrant cherry tomatoes in a range of colours, including red, yellow, and orange.

Known for their sweet, juicy flavor and firm texture, these cherry tomatoes are perfect for snacking, salads, and garnishing dishes. Cherry Mix F1 contains a mix of yellow Honeybee F1, red Ladybug F1, and Orange Monarch F1. 

Honeybee has a determinate growth pattern that does not require staking and starts producing sooner than the other two varieties at 60 days. Ladybug and Monarch are both indeterminate varieties that require staking for support. These tomatoes mature later than Honeybee, needing 65 and 63 days respectively. These plants bear tomatoes 28 g (1 oz) and 2.5 cm (1") in diameter.

Keep tomatoes away from all members of the Brassica family: cabbage, cauliflower, etc.

    Plant near asparagus, basil, calendula, dill, garlic, nasturtiums, onions, parsley, thyme. Calendula serves as a deterrent for common garden pests. Asparagus acts as a repellent for nematodes. Basil is effective in repelling whiteflies, mosquitoes, spider mites, and aphids. Additionally, basil attracts bees, which enhances pollination, improves the health of tomatoes, and enhances their flavor. Dill creates an environment that makes it challenging for cutworms to lay their eggs and also supports parasitic wasps that prey on pest caterpillars. Lastly, thyme reduces the egg-laying activity of armyworms.

How To Grow

Start tomato seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost in your area. Follow the seed depth and spacing guidelines indicated below. Once all danger of frost has passed, seedlings should be hardened off before planting in their growing location. Seedlings should be transplanted according to the plant and row spacing directions below. Transplant seedlings into the garden once the soil temperature has reached 15°C (60°F). Pick a location sheltered from the wind. Regularly monitor your plants and ensure that the soil remains moist , but not soggy while they establish themselves in their new environment.

  • Planting Depth: 6 mm (1/4in.)
  • Seed Spacing: Sow tomato seeds roughly 2.5 cm (1 in.) apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 90 cm (36 in.) apart.
  • Plant Spacing: 60-90 cm (24-36 in.)
  • Instructions for Nutrient Care: Apply SUPERThrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Suggestions Chevron Down Chevron Forward
Growing Suggestions:
  • Tomato plants need a lot of water to produce juicy, flavorful tomatoes! Consistent moisture is essential for best results. If tomatoes do not receive consistent moisture, the skins will split or possibly develop blossom end rot. Always water plants at the oil level; this strengthens the root system and avoids foliage disease.
  • Spread mulch around the base of the plant to prevent soil from splashing onto the fruit as this can lead to disease in the tomatoes.
  • As your tomato plants grow, you will notice new small stems sprouting from the point where the main stem connects to the larger branches. These small stems are called in suckers in and they tend to drain a lot of energy from your plant. To help your tomato plants grow faster and produce amazing tomatoes, it is recommended you remove these suckers by pinching them off with your thumb and forefinger. By doing so, your tomato plant will be able to allocate more energy to the growth of the main stem, resulting in better tomato production.
  • If you plant your seedlings deeply, it will encourage the growth of roots from the main stem. Sometimes, tomato plants tend to grow tall and may fall over, even in their initial stages. To avoid this, plant them just deep enough so that the bottom set of leaves is 2.5-5 cm (1-2 in) above the soil surface. Some gardeners prefer planting their tomatoes on their sides, which helps to spread the root system over a larger area, strengthen the main stem, and straighten it toward the sun.

So far so good

"Ordered a bunch of seeds, then saw negative reviews on google and started to wonder if I made a mistake; I've never grown anything so expected high likelihood of failing. However, so far everything I planted has sprouted! The germination rate has been near 100% rate. My little cherry tomato plants are growing quickly and already a few inches tall, with several true leaves after 3. 5 weeks."
