A dwarf plant with regular rugose leaves, grandpa’s heart produces big, red, stripey hearts with delicious juicy flesh, just the right amount of acidity. Part of Russ Crowe’s Rebel Starfighter fleet, this dwarf plant with the characteristic punchy flavour is a welcome addition for gardeners with limited space.
Dwarf plants are a great addition to any garden, being perfect for large pots (12lt plus) and edges of beds. They possess a gene which causes their growth pattern to be condensed, meaning that the stems are sturdier, and the leaf nodes are closer together. This means that they are brilliant for growing outdoors, and can withstand wind and weather better than regular indeterminates. Also, a dwarf plant can produce as much fruit as a regular indeterminate, but in a much smaller space. Like regular sized plants, dwarfs come in determinate (bush types which set all their fruit at once) and indeterminate (vining) types.
Sow Jan-April indoors
Height Band E
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
