Litchi Tomato Seeds
Start litchi tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Press seeds into the soil and cover lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist until germination. If seedlings become leggy, they can be "potted up" with the stem buried to encourage sturdier growth.
Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location, spacing plants 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow room for growth. Remember, at least two plants are required for fruit set, so plan accordingly for a successful harvest of these unique, flavorful fruits.
