Tigerella Cherry Tomato Seeds

Tigerella Heirloom Tomato Seeds – Red & Orange Striped Cherry Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

The Tigerella heirloom cherry tomato is a striking, early-producing variety known for its bold red fruits streaked with bright orange stripes — like little tomatoes wearing tiger coats! Each fruit is about 2 inches across, bursting with tangy-sweet flavor that’s perfect for snacking, salads, or roasting. This British heirloom produces heavy yields on vigorous, indeterminate vines that thrive in both warm and mild climates. Gardeners love Tigerella for its reliability, eye-catching beauty, and balanced taste that holds up even in variable weather. For best results, start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date, transplant into full sun, and provide sturdy support for the tall, productive vines. Regular watering and mulching will keep plants happy and fruiting all summer long.

TOMATO CHARACTERISTICS

Indeterminate

Flavor profile: savory & sweet

Average fruit size: 1 to 2 inch cherry sized fruits

Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. 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
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: 70 days from transplanting into the garden
