Choose a variant:
Determinate. 75-85 days to maturity. Cocoa is a compact "Micro" tomato variety from the Kitchen Minis™ series. This plant reaches only 6 to 8 inches tall, growing well on windowsills, countertops, or small patio spaces. It produces small, cherry-sized fruits (about 0.5 to 1 inch) with a deep burgundy color. While highly compact, our experience is that the plants may benefit from a small stake to help them stay upright as they grow. When grown in a pot, let them completely dry out before watering.

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.
