This 1984 All America Winner is still as famous as its name implies. The beautiful dark red globe-shaped fruits reach up to 8? in diameter. An excellent all-purpose tomato, it has great flavor, is very disease resistant, and grows well from Canada all the way to the southern U.S. No other variety does so well under as many different growing conditions as Celebrity! A bush-type, determinate tomato that ripens all at once, you will enjoy a bountiful harvest of many nearly perfect-looking fruits. If you only grow one tomato in your garden this year and want the best variety for reliable consistent production, this is the one to pick. Resistant to Verticillium Wilt, Fusarium Wilt (Race 1 & 2), and Nematodes. This packet plants: 15 plants (after thinning).
When to plant outside: Generally started indoors, tomatoes can also be directly seeded outside! Sow in spring, after the average last spring frost and when soil temperatures reach 60 degrees. In warm winter/hot summer areas of the south, southwest, and parts of California, they can also be planted in early fall for winter harvest.
When to start inside: 6-9 weeks before the average last spring frost.
Special Sowing & Germination Instructions: when planting seedlings outside, bury the roots and stem up to the first set of leaves horizontally. Curve the stem above the ground to a vertical position. The stem will sprout roots and develop a strong root system.
