Virden Oxheart Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - Another beautiful tomato from the Cricket Corner collection near Kennedy Saskatchewan. This oxheart strain is similar to our Katie's Oxheart with a few notable differences. Virden fruits are heart-shaped but slightly larger and sweeter, ranging from 2.5-4" in diameter. Also, orange-red fruits are thicker walled with more prominent shoulder striping maturing about 7 days earlier than Katie's. A fabulous indeterminate and prolific vine that should be included in your tomato rotation. We are offering this rare variety for the first time exclusively at Revival Seeds!
Indeterminate growth.
75 days to maturity.
25 seeds per packet.
Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in warm soil. Transplant seedlings into 1-inch cells or 3–4 inch pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the risk of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10 °C. Provide support such as cages or stakes to manage vigorous indeterminate vines and maximize harvest.
