‘Jaune Flammée’ Cocktail Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). The Solanum lycopersicum ‘Jaune Flammée’ cocktail tomato is a bright and characterful organic variety, appreciated for the vibrancy of its orange-yellow fruits and the delicate sweetness of its fruity flavor. Introduced to France by Norbert Perreira, it has earned a prominent place in gourmet vegetable gardens thanks to its abundant production and its warm appearance that brightens up cultivation rows. Its round fruits, the size of a golf ball, ripen in elegant clusters and offer a flavorful flesh with citrus notes, both sweet and slightly tart.
Recommended sowing period: March to April. The depth to respect is 0.5 cm (1/4 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, keep the potting soil at 24 to 28 °C (75 to 82 °F). Transplant young tomato plants when their true leaves have developed and the roots sufficiently hold the root ball. Give them plenty of light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant takes root more easily than an etiolated one. During acclimatization, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring the plants indoors if nights become cold again.
The Jaune Flammée yellow tomato takes on orange tones when ripe. Serve a few fruits cut into quarters to show their color and keep the juice on the plate. Place tomatoes in a location where clusters remain accessible from an aisle. Orient supports so as not to shade lower crops. Planting in rows is practical for guiding stems, while a few isolated plants allow for harvesting closer to the patio. Maintain sufficient distance between the foliage of tomatoes and that of their neighbors for easy care and air circulation.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: March to April. Sow at a depth of 0.5 cm (1/4 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, maintain the soil at 24 to 28 °C (75 to 82 °F). Transplant young tomatoes once their true leaves have developed and their roots are sufficiently holding the root ball. Provide them with ample light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant will recover more easily than an etiolated one. During hardening off, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring plants indoors if nights become cold again. Soil temperature matters as much as the calendar date when planting. Keep lower foliage off the ground to reduce splashing during watering. Tie stems with a flexible tie that allows for thickening. Inspect fruit clusters at the same time as ties: fruit weight increases rapidly as they grow. Mulching pre-warmed soil helps maintain consistent moisture and keeps the lowest fruits cleaner. The growth habit primarily guides staking and pruning.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Rich and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suited to the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using too many products, especially in a container where the roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the soil moist during germination, with no standing water; then adjust according to the crop.
Seasonal care
The 'Jaune Flammée' yellow tomato turns orange when ripe. Serve a few fruits cut into quarters to showcase their color and keep the juice on the plate. Transplant young tomato plants when their true leaves have developed and the roots are holding the root ball sufficiently. Give them strong light to limit stem elongation. A short, vigorous plant takes root more easily than an etiolated one. During acclimatization, gradually increase the time spent outdoors and bring the plants indoors if nights become cold again. Soil temperature matters as much as the calendar date when planting. Keep the lower foliage off the ground to reduce splashing when watering. Tie the stems with a soft tie that allows room for them to thicken. Inspect the clusters at the same time as the ties: the weight of the fruit increases rapidly as they grow. Mulch on already warmed soil helps maintain consistent moisture and keeps the lowest fruits cleaner. The growth habit primarily guides staking and pruning. A determinate tomato keeps its productive branches; severe pruning can remove part of the harvest. An indeterminate tomato requires more management as it grows longer. Observe fruits that are approaching their final color and pick them without crushing neighboring clusters. The cocktail tomato Solanum lycopersicum ‘Jaune Flammée’ is a bright and characterful organic variety, prized for the brilliance of its orange-yellow fruits and the delicacy of its fruity flavor.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
A sturdy, perforated container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for the roots.
Choose this exposure: sun. Reserve this spacing around the plant: 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24 in.). A potted tomato needs to have enough potting soil so that its root ball does not constantly go from very dry to waterlogged. Place the support before the roots occupy the entire container. A stable pot that is heavy at the base resists wind better as the foliage grows. As the fruits form, check the moisture more often and water the entire root ball rather than just wetting its surface.

Introduced in France by Norbert Perreira, it has earned a prominent place in gourmet gardens thanks to its abundant production and its warm appearance, which brightens up cultivation rows. Its round fruits, the size of a golf ball, ripen in elegant clusters and offer tasty flesh with citrus notes, both sweet and slightly acidic. In the garden, its indeterminate growth allows it to produce over a long period, provided it is well supported by a sturdy stake or an adapted cage.

Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a diversified plantation, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: basil, carrot, onion, marigold. The combination here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect each plant's height, light, and water needs, without crowding the foliage. Maintain a path for watering and picking, then remove spent crops to free up space. This organization simplifies maintenance without promising protection against pests. Install tomatoes in a location where the clusters remain accessible from a path.
