Description
Introducing the "Grosse Lisse" Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) – a classic Aussie favourite that's juicy and full of flavour. Boasting a large, round shape and vibrant red hue, this cultivar is a staple in many gardens and perfect for everything from salads to sauces. Whether you're up for a sandwich or a hearty pasta dish, "Grosse Lisse" offers a consistent taste that's hard to resist.
For best results, nestle your "Grosse Lisse" in a big pot filled with a premium quality potting mix or tuck them into a vege/herb garden bed enhanced with a top-grade soil conditioner. They prefer a sunny spot and regular watering, especially during Bunuru (late summer). To keep this luscious lisse at its best, stake it for support and feed with a tomato-rich fertiliser come Djilba (early spring). Around 70-80 days post-planting, once they're ripe and radiant, you're good to go for the harvest. Just make sure not to "lisse" out on these red beauties!
