Donated to the USDA's collection in 1937 by T. F. Ritchie of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada as accession number NSSL 7080 (renumbered PI 121662), our original sample was obtained from the USDA by Mike Dunton and grown out for re-introduction to the gardening public for the 2025 season by the Victory Seed Company.
Fruit Color: Red
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
