Cultivation method:
Sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, lightly covering the seeds in warm, well-draining potting soil. Maintain a temperature of 22 to 24°C (72 to 75°F) for germination in 5 to 10 days. Transplant the seedlings when the first true leaves appear, providing them with bright light.
Transplant outdoors after the last frost, spacing the plants 35 to 45 cm apart in rich, loose soil. Provide sturdy support, as the indeterminate growth habit produces long stems bearing abundant clusters of fruit. Water regularly at the base and mulch to retain soil moisture.
Fiaschetto impresses with its deep flavor, generous texture and culinary versatility.
