Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Distinctive Appearance: Large, pink-red tomatoes weighing up to 1.5 lbs each, with a unique creamy aftertaste and an unusual leaf shape that stands out in the garden.
  • Optimal Growth Conditions: Requires warm soil temperatures around 75°F for germination with 14-16 hours of light per day post-sprouting; thrives in a temperature of 62°F during early growth.
  • Harvest Tips: Achieve maturity with deep and regular watering to prevent blossom end rot and cracking; fruit begins to ripen with less water, enhancing flavor concentration.
  • Culinary Delight: Perfect for robust sauces, fresh salads, and thick, juicy slices on sandwiches due to their substantial size and exceptional flavor.
  • Robust Resilience: Employs staking cultivation for support; adaptable to various climate conditions provided night temperatures remain warm.

Unleash the gourmet potential of your garden with our Heirloom Brandywine Tomato Seeds. Celebrated for its remarkable flavor and substantial fruit size, the Brandywine variety is a garden staple for aficionados and casual gardeners alike. Begin your planting journey indoors, 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Cover seeds lightly with 1/4 inch of soil and maintain a moist environment without waterlogging. Once germinated, ensure they receive 14-16 hours of light daily until they reach 5 inches in height, then transplant them to larger peat pots for optimal root development.

A consistent watering schedule is key to preventing common issues like blossom end rot. As fruits begin to set, slightly reduce watering to enhance their natural sugars for a richer taste. Stake the plants to support their robust growth and protect the large tomatoes from touching the ground. Prepare to be enchanted by the Brandywine's luscious pink-red tomatoes, ideal for an array of culinary uses—from a simple, rustic tomato sandwich to a sophisticated, homemade tomato sauce. Experience the joy of harvesting your own, exceptionally flavorful tomatoes right from your backyard. Cultivate your Brandywine tomatoes today and savor the taste of heirloom quality with every bite.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Start Heirloom Brandywine Tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Ensure a warm environment of around 75°F for optimal germination.

Once seedlings have developed their first true leaves, transplant them into larger pots to encourage strong root growth. Harden off the plants by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before transplanting them into the garden.

Plant in a sunny location with well-drained soil, spacing plants 24-36 inches apart. Stake or cage plants to support the heavy fruit. Water consistently, reducing slightly as fruits mature to enhance flavor. Enjoy the large, juicy tomatoes in salads and sandwiches.
