The Burpee Europe team know how to get the pulses of gardeners going and with Tomato 'Burlesque' hearts will be racing this year!

This shapely variety is our new glamorous superstar, she is gorgeously juicy and no shrinking violet as she is very prolific. Lovingly bred by Burpee Europe, these large jewels of round, vibrant, pure-red 280–350g fruits entice with heirloom aromatics and tangy tomato sweetness.

Ripening from early August, the large fruits are produced in clusters of three to four per truss. 'Burlesque' tomatoes are easy to pick and show no cracking. Excellent blight resistance makes this a useful beefsteak for outdoor growing in central and southern Europe.

How To Grow Tomato 'Burlesque'

This beefsteak type tomato is best grown in a cold greenhouse or plastic tunnel and for these sowings can be made from mid-March onwards with planting in the greenhouse about five to six weeks later. However, trials have shown that 'Burlesque' can be grown out-doors with some success and plants show a reasonable level of blight resistance. The large fruits start to ripen approximately eight weeks after planting in the greenhouse and a week or so later outdoors.

This tomato is sassy and tasty and we know that you will love her as much as we do!!!
