Burpee Sweet 100 Tomato Seeds & Plant

Indeterminate means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. Unlike determinate varieties that ripen all at once, these plants require staking or a trellis to support their ongoing, vertical growth.

You can expect to start harvesting your Sweet 100 tomatoes approximately 70 days after planting. Because they are an indeterminate variety, they will continue to provide a steady supply of fruit until the weather turns cold.

While they can be grown in large containers, keep in mind that these plants reach a mature height of 60 to 72 inches. You will need a sturdy, deep pot and a strong support system, like a tall cage or stake, to handle their size and heavy fruit clusters.

F1 hybrid seeds are bred to combine the best traits of two parent plants, resulting in 'hybrid vigor.' For the Sweet 100, this means you get a more reliable, disease-resistant plant with consistent flavor and higher yields compared to open-pollinated varieties.

Since these plants have a mature spread of about 18 inches, you should space them at least 18 to 24 inches apart. This ensures adequate airflow, which is crucial for preventing fungal diseases and keeping the plant healthy throughout the season.
