Effortless Sowing

Sow the 'Costoluto Fiorentino' seeds in specially prepared containers to provide optimal conditions and protect seedlings from external factors. Evenly distribute the seeds and lightly cover them with soil to allow proper light penetration and moisture retention for healthy germination.

Precise Sowing Depth

Plant the seeds at a depth of 0.5 cm. This shallow depth ensures adequate exposure to light and moisture, promoting quick germination. Avoid deeper planting as it may hinder seed emergence.

Sowing Period Under Cover

Sow 'Costoluto Fiorentino' seeds under cover from March to April. During this time, ensure consistent light and warmth to support healthy seedling development.

Planting Time

Transplant seedlings to their permanent location on 15th May when the soil has warmed sufficiently. This timing allows proper root establishment and encourages vigorous growth.

Optimal Plant Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 80x60 cm between plants. This arrangement provides ample space for growth and promotes good air circulation, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Plant 'Costoluto Fiorentino' in sunny locations with fertile, well-drained soils and a neutral pH. Regular watering and fertilisation with potassium- and phosphorus-rich organic solutions are essential for healthy plants and abundant harvests. Avoid overcrowding to minimise disease risk.

Growing Tips for Success

This variety requires staking to support its tall growth habit. Regularly prune side shoots and lower leaves to enhance light exposure for the fruits, which accelerates ripening. Use natural pest control methods, such as plant extract sprays, to maintain plant health.

Culinary Uses

The 'Costoluto Fiorentino' tomato is a kitchen favourite, offering intense flavour and aroma. Perfect for sandwiches, salads, soups, and sauces, its distinctive ribbed appearance also adds a unique touch to your dishes. A great choice for those who appreciate a wholesome, nutritious diet.
