Patio Cherry Tomato Plant – Veranda Red

A compact and productive cherry tomato, Veranda Red is specifically bred for patio growing and smaller spaces. This bushy, determinate variety produces an abundance of sweet, bite-sized red cherry tomatoes throughout the summer months, making it a perfect choice for container gardening on patios, balconies and doorsteps. Supplied as a live, outdoor-ready plant in a 2 litre root-ball, it is ready to be potted on or planted out once all risk of frost has passed.

Veranda Red has been developed for its naturally neat, compact habit, removing the need for staking or support. The sturdy stems hold trusses of bright red fruit that ripen steadily from midsummer, offering a reliable harvest of flavourful tomatoes ideal for salads, snacking and lunchboxes.
