Vigorous, dwarf, potato leaf plants produce a heavy yield of medium to medium large sized oblate, smooth red fruit, possessing a superb, intense, complex flavour – one of the very best flavoured of all of the dwarfs. ‘Sweet Scarlet Dwarf’ has been a highlight for all who grow it and beloved by those who taste it.
Another great variety created by the Dwarf Tomato Project, it originated from a cross made by Patrina Nuske Small between Golden Dwarf Champion and Elbe and named Tipsy. 'Sweet Scarlet Dwarf' was selected and named by Craig LeHoullier.
This variety is pledged to the Open Source Seed Initiative.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
