Costoluto Fiorentino Tomato Seeds, 10 pcs.

old variety from Tuscany
ideal for sauces, good for preserving
Grows up to 200 cm high
Harvest time: July to October

The Costoluto Fiorentino really bears its name rightly. The "Florentine rib" is a traditional variety, which has always been grown in Italy and originally comes from Tuscany. It is a classic beef tomato, strongly ribbed and with large fruits. Its juicy and sweet flesh is excellent for canning or for making delicious pasta sauces. Also eaten raw, the Costoluto Fiorentino leaves nothing to be desired in terms of taste.

Growing and care

Tomato seeds like it a little warmer for germination. The temperature should be between 20 and 25 °C for this variety. A heated propagator is particularly suitable for propagation. The seeds can be pre-soaked for 12 hours between layers of cellulose (e.g. kitchen roll) and then placed directly in soil. Germination usually takes place after one to two weeks. As soon as the plants are more robust and no more frost is expected outdoors, you can plant them out.

Soil and location

To ensure that your tomato plants develop vigorously and bear plenty of fruit, it is best to give them a good quality substrate. The soil should be rich in nutrients and airy and should always be kept slightly moist. However, waterlogging should be avoided at all costs, so make sure that the water can drip out of the pots. As tomatoes are very light-hungry, they need a place where they get at least 6-8 hours of sun a day and are protected. The more sun your tomato plants get, the richer their harvest will be!

Tip:

Depending on the variety, it makes sense to prune the plants. This is especially the case with stake tomatoes, so you can save yourself the trouble with bush tomatoes. By pruning, you prevent too many small tomatoes from forming. If you trim your plants skilfully, you will get a few fruits less, but they are usually larger and have a better aroma.
