A recent variety released in 2019 in the USA. Sissy’s Britches is a regular leaf, variegated mini dwarf which can get up to 80-90cm. It is extremely attractive at all phases of growth, maintaining its variegation all the way through to ripening. The fruit are pink and gold striped, golf ball sized or slightly larger, and very tasty. The flavour is fruity and well balanced.
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 B/D
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
