Why We Love It:

‘Sungold’ is a true favourite for its unbeatable sweetness — often regarded as one of the tastiest cherry tomatoes you can grow. Its vigorous growth and long, trailing trusses packed with fruit make it both highly productive and visually stunning. Perfect for snacking straight off the vine, it’s also reliable and early-cropping, thriving even in cooler UK summers.

Sowing & Growing Tips:

• 
  
  When to Sow: Plant young plants outdoors after the last frost, typically from late May onwards


• 
  
  Germination Time: (For reference if sowing seeds) 7–14 days at 18–24°C


• 
  
  Where to Grow: Greenhouse, sunny patio, raised beds, large containers


• 
  
  Care Notes: Support plants with stakes or canes and pinch out side shoots regularly to encourage strong upright growth. Water consistently and feed weekly with a tomato fertiliser once the first truss has set.

The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:

Plant with basil for natural pest protection and a perfect flavour pairing. ‘Sungold’ tomatoes are delicious fresh in salads, roasted with herbs, or tossed warm into pasta dishes for a burst of sweetness.
