As well as its ability to shrug off even the worst blight, Crimson Crush will provide great yields of exceptionally fine tasting, large, round tomatoes (each weighing up to 200g). Bred for outdoor growing, it's the tomato that everyone should be planting this year. (Cordon variety - one stem grown by pinching off side-shoots as they appear, needs staking and tying in.)
Please note: With regards to the nature of the blight resistance, plants can still show infection (up to 10-15%) of leaves, stems etc. without effecting fruit quality or yield. The plants having the resistance to be able to grow away from the attack.
Seeds can be sown from January to March. Using a multipurpose soilless compost or a good quality seed compost, fill seed trays or 7.5cm (3″) pots, leaving a ½” gap at the top.
Sow the seeds thinly in the trays or singularly in the pots. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost and water. Place in a propagator or cover with cling film and stand on a warm, sunny windowsill.
Temperature for germination should be approximately 20o-25oC (68o-78oF) but check the seed packets for individual varieties. Too high a temperature in the early stages leads to spindly growth and unhealthy plants.
Once the seeds have germinated, usually 7-14 days from sowing, remove the cling film, or take them out of the propagator and return them to the windowsill. If growing in trays, the seedlings should be transplanted into 7.5cm (3″) pots when they are 2-3 cm tall, using a multipurpose compost. Keep the compost moist by watering with a fine rose, preferably in the morning.
Keep potting on as required until the plants are ready to plant out.
Sow March/April for greenhouse growing (or April for outdoor growing) in a propagator on a windowsill or pots or trays in a greenhouse at 18-21°C (65-70°F) using a good quality compost. Cover seeds with 6mm (1?4") sieved compost. Germination 8-12 days. Transplant seedlings singly into 7.5cm (3") pots. Grow on, finally planting into large pots, grow bags or direct into a greenhouse border; or outdoors 45cm (18") apart when the risk of frost has passed.
Feed regularly and sideshoot as necessary.
Sowing ➞ Cropping: 17-19 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.
