When it comes to colour and flavour, this heirloom tomato is a gem. Starting with colour, we have purple-blue tops that fade towards orange-yellow. Each fruit produces few seeds, but that's a bonus if you want meaty tomatoes that won't make sandwiches soggy. As for flavour, Lucid Gem is an award-winner that has been voted sweetest tomato in taste tests. They're ready to eat when they're still yellow in colour, but riper is better. Let those sugars develop and enjoy!

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Tomatoes are best sown in trays about 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow seeds about 5mm deep and keep the soil temperature to about 20 celcius until germination. Once the plants have grown their second leaves the seedlings can be transplanted into larger individual pots. Keep the tomato seedlings in a warm sunny position and maintain moisture levels. When planting out, position the plants so that soil covers the entire stem up to the first leaves. This will increase root development and ensure a healthy strong plant. Plants should be placed in full sun and rich soil.

    How to Harvest

    Tomatoes ripened on the vine will be ready once they show their mature colour. The fruits can also be squeezed and should yield slightly when ripe. If frost occurs and temperatures drop late in the season all tomatoes can be picked. Tomatoes that do not ripen on the vine can be ripened indoors by being placed in a warm place out or direct sun.
