How to Plant Cherry Tomatoe from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Indoor Starting: Begin seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Outdoor Planting: Transplant seedlings 2-3 weeks after the last frost, when the soil is consistently warm (above 60°F or 16°C).

Seed Preparation

  1. Choose a warm, sunny location.
  2. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 12 inches and adding organic matter.
  3. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  • Only recommended in warm climates.
  • Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spacing them 12-24 inches apart.
  • Thin seedlings to the strongest plants after germination.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  • Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in seed trays filled with moist seed-starting mix.
  • Maintain temperatures of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.
  • Seeds will germinate in 5-10 days.
  • Transplant into larger containers once they develop two sets of true leaves.

Pro Tip

Cherry tomatoes grow fast and abundantly—provide a trellis or cage to keep vines supported and fruit off the ground. Pinch off suckers (small shoots between the stem and branches) to encourage better airflow and higher yields.

Bonus: Harvest regularly to keep the plant producing sweet, juicy tomatoes all season long!

Getting to know your Cherry Tomato

Cherry tomatoes are small, round, sweet tomatoes that grow in clusters on indeterminate or determinate vines. They thrive in full sun, warm temperatures, and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. These tomatoes mature quickly, typically within 55-75 days, and produce fruit continuously throughout the growing season. Cherry tomatoes come in various colors, including red, yellow, orange, and even purple. They require consistent watering and staking for support. Resistant to cracking and highly productive, cherry tomatoes are ideal for fresh eating, salads, and roasting.

Our Seed Safety Promise

We do not sell genetically modified seeds — ever. And we don’t use genetic engineering to breed new varieties. Instead, our skilled breeders use traditional, natural crossing methods to create hybrid seeds that are healthy, safe, and packed with potential.

Our Seed Quality Guarantee

At Shido, we believe great gardens start with great seeds — and that means quality comes first. Every seed lot we offer is ensure to generate top-notch germination because your garden deserves nothing less.

To keep our seeds at their peak, we run thorough pathology tests at trusted outside labs. When you open a Shido seed packet, you can trust it’s been nurtured, tested, and approved to give you strong, healthy plants from the very first sprout.

Types of Seeds We Offer

Hybrid Seeds (F1)

F1 hybrid seeds are the garden’s high achievers — created by crossing two specially chosen parent plants for superior vigor, uniformity, and performance. We use only traditional breeding methods to produce these powerhouse seeds.

Open-Pollinated & Heirloom Seeds

Our open-pollinated (OP) seeds naturally reproduce through wind, insects, water, or self-pollination. When grown in isolation, they produce true-to-type plants year after year.

Among our OP seeds are treasured heirloom varieties — old favorites that have been carefully passed down for generations. While OP plants can be less uniform than hybrids, we run our Open-Pollinated Project to select the most reliable, flavorful, and beautiful strains. Many are also available as certified organic seeds.

Non-GMO: What It Means and Why It Matters

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is created when scientists alter a plant’s DNA in a lab — often by inserting genes from completely unrelated species — to achieve certain traits, like pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. This is a far cry from natural plant breeding.

At Shido, we believe gardening should stay as close to nature as possible. All our seeds — whether hybrid, heirloom, organic, or open-pollinated — are Non-GMO. They’re bred using traditional methods that respect natural biodiversity, giving you safe, wholesome seeds that grow into plants just as nature intended.

When you plant Shido Non-GMO seeds, you’re choosing purity, sustainability, and peace of mind — along with a garden full of flavor, color, and beauty.
