Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Ah, the "Roma" Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)! A traveller's dream and a gardener's pride, it transports your taste buds straight to Italy with its plum-shaped, vibrant red fruits. Known for their rich and robust flavour, these medium-sized wonders come with a smooth texture and minimal seeds, making them a favourite for pastes, sauces, and even salads.

Ready to journey with "Roma"? Plant them in premium quality potting mix if you're going potted or enrich your vege/herb gardens with a top-shelf soil conditioner. Like a tourist soaking up the sun in Rome's piazzas, these tomatoes love their sunlight. Hydrate them well, especially during Bunuru (late summer), and ensure a hearty feed with tomato-specific fertiliser come Djilba (early spring). In about 75-85 days, they'll be ripe for the plucking. While these tomatoes are pretty self-sufficient, giving them a bit of support with stakes is a grand idea, just like a gelato on a hot Italian day. Grow a bit of "Roma" in your backyard and experience la dolce vita every harvest!
