Round Tomato 'Tigerella Bicolore' is a striking beauty with delicious flavour. This open-pollinated variety produces a delightful spectacle throughout its growing cycle. The fruits start out with bold, dark green stripes against a light green background. As they mature, the green gives way to a rich red, while the stripes transform into a stunning orange, creating a captivating striped masterpiece.

Sow in trays or pots indoors March-April and harden off the plants before planting 45cm apart in early June. Choose a warm, sheltered position. Harvest mid August-mid October.
