Tomato Plants

How to choose the best tomato plants

Tomatoes are available in a wide range of colours, not just classic red, and each variety has its own unique flavour. Try Tomato ‘Appleberry Sunny Yellow’ for golden, apple-shaped fruit, Tomato ‘Akoya’ for black tomatoes with a red blush, and Tomato ‘Purple Zebra’ for beautiful fruits with a green stripe.

If you’re growing your tomatoes outside, choose a sheltered sunny spot and try Tomato ‘Moneymaker’, Tomato ‘Buffalosun’ and Tomato ‘Marmande’.

Which are the best tomatoes for greenhouse growing?

For greenhouse tomatoes, we recommend Tomato ‘San Marzano’, Tomato ‘Orange Beauty’ and the high-yielding Tomato ‘Sweet Million’.

Which are the best tomatoes for growing in containers?

Most tomato plants are suitable for containers or growbags, but trailing varieties like Tomato ‘Lizzano’ and ‘Tiny Temptations’ look particularly lovely cascading from containers or hanging baskets. For larger salad tomatoes, try growing the compact ‘Alicante’ in a patio pot.
