Tomato - Firebird’s Feather

Minimum Seed Count: 10

The Firebird’s Feather tomato is a showstopper with colors as bold as its name. The fruits are elongated, slender, and slightly curved, shaped almost like little flames or feathers. Their skin is a brilliant sunset blend of red, orange, and golden streaks, creating a marbled, fiery pattern across the surface. Inside, the flesh mirrors the outside with rich orange-red tones and meaty texture, low in seeds and perfect for slicing or roasting.
On the vine, clusters of these flame-colored fruits dangle gracefully, glowing against the backdrop of lush, dark green foliage. The overall look is ornamental, fiery, and elegant—like a bird’s feather caught in the garden light.

🌱 Planting Guide:

📦 Seed Starting

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date.

Sow ¼" deep in moist, well-draining seed mix.

Keep soil warm (70–80°F) for best germination.

☀️ Transplanting

Harden off seedlings before moving them outside.

Plant once soil temps stay above 60°F and all danger of frost has passed.

Space 24–36" apart in rows or raised beds.

🌿 Growing Needs

Provide full sun (6–8+ hours daily).

Stake or cage these vigorous plants to support heavy clusters.

Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep soil temps steady.

💧 Watering

Water deeply and consistently, aiming for 1–2 inches per week.

Avoid overhead watering to reduce risk of blight—water at the soil line.

🍅 Harvesting

Fruits ripen to a red with golden lines fading through.

Pick when the tomato softer and red with slight shades of green at the top.

Enjoy fresh off the vine, in salads, or as a sweet-tart garden snack!
