Everglades Tomato Plant [3 Plants]

Description

Important Information:
Plants will be mailed via USPS Priority Mail in February/March/April 2024. We will contact you via email and/or phone to schedule a shipping window. When the plants ship, you’ll receive an email that contains the USPS tracking number and link. Plants generally arrive within 48 hours.

Please closely monitor the tracking information, to know exactly when to expect arrival. As soon as the plants arrive, carefully open the package, and water them well. We give the plants a thorough soaking prior to shipping, so your plants will arrive in good shape. If the leaves appear a little droopy upon arrival, a good watering will help them “perk up” after a couple of hours.

Each plant comes snuggly nestled in it’s own 12″ x 3″ x 3″ box.

Growing in Containers: The Everglades Tomato will flourish in your traditional ground garden, but remember, Tomatoes grow EXCEPTIONALLY WELL in containers (pots, Earth Boxes, etc.) too. If you choose to grow them in a container, make sure that your container has holes in the bottom to ensure proper drainage. As far as the soil for the container, any potting soil will work.

Growing in the Ground: One of the most important factors to keep in mind when planting is the sun! Make sure to be mindful of the planting location and what sort of sun exposure it receives. Also consider how much sun the location will receive as the Summer approaches.
