Tomato KY1
KY1 tomato seeds grow robust bush habit plants that thrive in Australian conditions. Commonly known as Scoresby Dwarf, this heirloom variety offers excellent productivity, growing impressive yields of meaty fruits with superb flavour. Its compact growth habit means staking isn't needed, and its disease resistance makes it an easy tomato plant to care for.
The KY1 tomato’s dense foliage gives great shade to its fruits, protecting them from the harsh summer sun and giving you a more consistent crop. Its bushy growth makes it ideal for small spaces, so you can enjoy homegrown tomatoes even if you don’t have a large garden.
Plant alongside our herb seeds for a kitchen garden that’s full of flavour or explore our full range of vegetable seeds for even more options!
How To Grow
Sow KY1 tomato seeds 5mm (¼ in) deep in trays of seed-raising mix, or scatter them directly in their final growing positions. Transplant tomato seedlings when they are sturdy enough to handle. Water daily, and when the first truss has set, feed your plants regularly. KY1 tomatoes prefer a warm, sunny position. Seedlings emerge after 10-14 days.
