30 Dwarf Red Robin Tomato Seeds, Heirloom Non-GMO, Sweet, Low Acid, Determinate, Open-Pollinated, Delicious, Solanum lycoperscium, from USA

I have been very impressed with these plants. The out of 12 seeds planted, 7 germinated (about 60% germination), which is pretty normal for me as a new gardener. The tallest one I have has stalled out at 14 inches tall. They look like they are going to be completely covered with little cherry tomatoes. The tallest one could probably use some support, but is stalky enough to hold itself up fairly well. The plants are fairly robust. I have one inside and the rest outside in pots and both are doing surprisingly well. The indoor plant only gets about 4 hours of direct sunlight a day (at best) and it is thriving. The weather has averaged a high temperature of 105 F or more for most of these tomatoes' lives, and they have still grown really well. They also seem pretty drought tolerant. I have had times when I missed my regular watering and all the potted plants around these tomatoes are visibly stressed or even dying, and these still seem to be as happy as can be with no signs of stress. I definitely recommend this micro tomato variety and the vendor seems to be reputable.

Here are the steps i went through. 1) Mixed organic non fertilized indoor potting soil with organic fertilized indoor pot soil. This helps the seedlings avoid fertilizer burn early on. 2) Once third set of leaves sprout, I fertilize the ground with pellet fertilizer. 3) I provide adequate lighting. I use cheap SP150's from Mars Hydro. I am a few weeks in to my grow and all plants are starting flowering stage. All leaves look perfectly healthy. My light is on the more powerful side at the height I have it so it keeps the plants are compressed and very low to the ground. You can stretch them more if you like by providing less light. The idea of compressing is that the plants will not need support. 100% perfect growth and germination. These are good seeds. Be sure to provide adequate soil for the seeds and increase fertilizer as roots get larger and more established. This is for small pots. EDIT: Added 2 more photos 5-6 weeks in. Perfect growth. The two pots shown have over 200 tomatoes nearing red stage and is producing more flowers. Very happy with the perfect experience here. Theses are a bit bigger than I expected. I would use a larger pot than pictured on the product page. EDIT2: Added photos of first ripe picks. harvesting 10-15 tomatoes a day now. Perfect staggered ripening. This will be the last edit. Ignore the bad reviews. Not everyone knows how to grow plants.

I bought these seeds looking for a miniature version to grow in the indoor hydropod. However, I started these in soil, inside in the greenhouse. As you can see one of them has grown to 4" tall and is producing flowers and very healthy. The other one, grown under same circumstances, has only grown to 1.5" and isn't doing as well. The only differences between the growing experience is the smaller one is in a smaller pot and was started in a biodegradable seedling cup first. The other one was started in the pot it is still in. IDK if it was the transplanting that weakened the smaller one or what. I will continue to monitor them both. Perhaps the smaller one will catch up. At any rate, these are adorable little plants and I will continue to grow them outdoors as long as weather permits and will then grow them indoors throughout the winter.

UPDATE: Given my track record, I suppose Louise should be grateful to be alive at this point. That being said, I’m no expert, but I don’t believe this is a dwarf tomato plant. She doesn’t look at all as I was expecting, though she appears to be thriving in this environment. At one point, she took on a very steep gangster lean. I grabbed an old straw that came with one of my tumblers that I ordered and tied her to it to give her some support. She’s hanging in very well, but she’s not a dwarf plant at all. I’m gonna stand by her, but I fear at one point she may outgrow her position there and I may be forced to put her outside. I live in an apartment complex in New England and I’m pretty sure the management will frown on any attempt to establish a presence for her on the property. I’m not sure what to do, but if you were looking forward to having a dwarf plant to enjoy in your small space, you may find yourself disappointed with these seeds. ORIGINAL POST: I was so excited to get these! I ran from the mailbox straight to my planter and planted two. It took 8 days (may have planted too deep), but one has sprung up! She looks really good to me. I’m an inexperienced planter, and plants like to die in my arms. If she doesn’t make it, it may be unfair to blame the seed. These do germinate, at least. I used compressed indoor soil made of coconut coir. She’s in a self-watering planter and gets at least 10 hours of full spectrum LED light a day. I’ll fertilize once a month or so, and will mist the top soil from time to time. I’m driving blind. Wish me luck, but try them if you’re interested.

These seeds were well packaged and seemed of good quality. I started these indoors with grow lamps in mid-February in my grow zone of 6. These seeds had a good germination rate - likely 85 % or so for me and matured just in time for planting season. In planting these, they did extremely well both in pots and lived up to their name as a dwarf, producing a nice harvest. We suffered a severe drought this summer and these weathered through with extra care. The flavor was not as sweet as I would've preferred but it likely could've been the drought. I have leftover seeds from the packet so I will definitely plant again in '2026. I recommend.

I grew these tomatoes in a small self contain hydroponic system. I got a 100% yield from the seeds. Small fruit but they taste great! No special care. I just followed instructions on my hydroponic system.

Growing in hydroponic. They're the perfect size for indoor growing. I might try to replant now that it's Spring. Didn't grow as many tomatoes as I thought but grew enough for my salads. Uses up a ton of water in the hydroponic so I had to keep an eye on that.
