Heirloom tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) are a prized variety of tomatoes known for their rich flavors, diverse colors, and unique shapes. Unlike hybrid tomatoes, heirlooms are open-pollinated, meaning their seeds can be saved and replanted to produce the same variety year after year. Heirloom tomatoes are an exceptional choice for gardeners who value flavor, diversity, and sustainability. By following proper planting and care techniques, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious tomatoes while preserving valuable genetic varieties for future generations. Whether grown in garden beds, containers, or greenhouses, heirloom tomatoes provide a rewarding and flavorful gardening experience.

How to Plant Heirloom Tomato from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors when nighttime temperatures are consistently above 50°F (10°C).

Preparing Seeds for Planting

  1. Choose a warm, well-lit indoor location for seed starting.
  2. Use seed-starting mix or light, well-draining soil.
  3. Fill containers or trays with moist soil.

Sowing Seeds

  1. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and cover lightly with soil.
  2. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
  3. Maintain temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) for germination.
  4. Expect seedlings to emerge in 5-10 days.

Transplanting Outdoors

  • Choose a sunny garden spot with well-draining soil.
  • Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.
  • Bury the stem deeper than the seedling’s original soil line to encourage strong root growth.

Pro Tip

For the juiciest, most flavorful heirloom tomatoes, prune your plants strategically! Remove lower leaves and any suckers (the small shoots that grow between the stem and branches) to improve air circulation and direct more energy into fruit production.

Bonus: Mulch with straw or shredded leaves to retain moisture and keep soil temperatures steady.

Getting to know your Heirloom Tomato

Heirloom tomatoes are non-hybrid tomato varieties known for their rich flavors and diverse colors, shapes, and sizes. They require full sun, well-drained soil, and warm temperatures to thrive. Heirloom tomatoes can be indeterminate or determinate and take 70-90 days to mature. They are more susceptible to disease but offer superior taste compared to hybrid varieties.
