An early maturing tomato, Shirley crops heavily on short jointed plants. Nicely shaped fruit of fine quality. Resistant to TMV (tobacco mosaic virus), leaf mould, Fusarium and greenback. For greenhouse culture. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.

(Cordon variety - one stem grown by pinching off side-shoots as they appear, needs staking and tying in.)

Growing Information

For greenhouse crops, sow February/April under glass 18-21°C (65-70°F). Grow in well prepared borders, large pots or growing bags, removing laterals as they appear. For outdoor crops, sow April under glass 18-21°C (65-70°F). Grow in warm, sunny positions in well prepared, moisture retentive soil allowing 45-60cm (1½-2') between plants, and water regularly in dry periods. (16-18 weeks maturity.)

Sowing Information

Sow in a propagator on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approx. 18-21°C (65-70 °F) using good quality compost. Germination 8-12 days. Transplant seedlings singly into 75mm (3") pots. Plant out when they start to show flower buds into large pots, grow bags, or direct into the greenhouse border 45cm (18") apart. Remove side shoots when necessary and feed regularly once the first truss has set.

Sowing ➞ Cropping: 18-20 weeks.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.
