Description
Grow your own tasty tomatoes even in the smallest of outdoor spaces! ‘Lizzano’ is a vigorous bush variety, with a low-growing, trailing habit, which is perfect for growing in patio containers or hanging baskets. Your plants will produce large, 25mm diameter, bright red cherry fruits with a long harvest period from July to September. ‘Lizzano’ is one of the first cherry tomatoes to offer late blight tolerance and, along with its F1 pedigree and grafted roots, these are strong, vigorous plants with increased resistance to soil-borne diseases and pests.Pot up and grow tomato plants on in warm frost-free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well-drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Alternatively grow tomatoes in patio bags and containers in good quality compost such as John Innes No. 2. Drive a (5’) cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine. Companion planting: try growing tomatoes with French marigolds to deter whitefly, and basil, chives or mint to deter aphids and other pests.Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size.
