Description

(Solanum lycopersicum). A cherry tomato with a twist! Shaped like a baby Roma and bursting with an irresistible sweetness, the ‘Cherry Flaviola’ brings both crunch and flavor to your garden. Unlike the typical Roma, these little gems are packed with authentic tomato flavor that stands out in salads, salsas, and snacks. In our trials, they’ve been known to steal the show with their bold taste, so good you’ll find yourself popping them like candy! Perfect for snacking straight off the vine, these vibrant red tomatoes are the ultimate treat for any tomato lover.

Growing Tips: Cherry Flaviola tomatoes perform best in rich, well-draining soil with steady moisture and warmth. Use strong staking or caging to support vigorous, indeterminate vines. Mulching helps regulate soil temperatures, conserve water, and reduce weed pressure. Encourage airflow with light pruning, and harvest fruits regularly to promote continuous production throughout the season.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last spring frost, then transplant once nighttime temperatures remain reliably above 50 F. In frost-free or mild climates, late-summer sowing may extend fall harvests. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds into a sterile seed-starting mix, covering lightly and keeping evenly moist. Provide bottom heat or a warm environment for strong germination. Once seedlings grow true leaves, pot them up and harden off before planting deeply outdoors, burying part of the stem to encourage a robust root system.

How to Grow

Water consistently at the base to reduce foliar diseases and fruit cracking. Feed with organic fertilizer or compost during early development and again as flowering begins. Train plants on stakes or cages to maintain structure. Prune selectively to improve light penetration and airflow, and monitor for pests to ensure steady, abundant clusters of fruit.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.

FAQ

How long do Cherry Flaviola tomato seeds stay viable?

When thoroughly dried and stored in airtight containers in a cool, dark place, Cherry Flaviola tomato seeds typically remain viable for four to six years with strong germination potential.

Are Cherry Flaviola tomatoes suitable for small gardens?

Yes, as long as plants are given vertical support. Their indeterminate habit requires staking, but their compact fruit clusters and productivity make them ideal for tight garden spaces or raised beds.

Do Cherry Flaviola tomatoes need pruning?

Light pruning is recommended. Removing lower leaves and occasional suckers improves airflow, reduces disease risk, and helps maintain productive, manageable vines without compromising overall yield.
