Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Cordon Tomato Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.

When to plant Cordon Tomato Plants

Cordon tomato plants should be planted from late April to June once the risk of frost has passed. If growing in a greenhouse, they can be planted earlier in March or April. For best results, harden off young plants before moving them outdoors to help them adjust to external conditions.

How to Plant Cordon Tomato Plants

Choose a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained, fertile soil. If growing in containers, use a large pot (at least 30cm deep) with quality compost. Cordon tomatoes need strong support—stake plants or grow them against canes, tying the main stem as they grow. Space plants 45-60cm apart and water regularly to maintain even moisture levels. Feed weekly with a high-potassium fertilizer once the first flowers appear to encourage fruiting.

How long do Cordon Tomato Plants take to grow?

Cordon tomatoes typically take 10-12 weeks from planting to produce fruit, with harvesting starting from July through to October. Regular feeding, pinching out side shoots, and maintaining even watering will ensure a continuous and healthy crop.

Why should I plant Cordon Tomato Plants?

Cordon tomato plants are ideal for gardeners who want a high-yielding, space-efficient crop. They grow vertically, making them perfect for small gardens, patios, and greenhouses. Their continuous fruiting habit ensures a steady supply of fresh, delicious tomatoes throughout the season.

Where can I plant Cordon Tomato Plants?

Cordon tomatoes thrive in greenhouses, polytunnels, or sunny outdoor spots against a warm wall or trellis. They can also be grown in large containers or grow bags on patios and balconies. In cooler regions, greenhouse or polytunnel growing helps extend the season and improve yields.
