Growing Information
Growing San Marzano Italian Paste Tomato
‘San Marzano Italian’ is a classic paste tomato prized for its rich flavor, dense flesh, and exceptional cooking quality. Bright red, elongated fruits contain few seeds and extra-high solids, allowing them to cook down into thick, flavorful sauces.
Start ‘San Marzano Italian’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety thrives during warm summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 80 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and bright red maturity.
Dense, rich, and meaty, ‘San Marzano Italian’ is excellent for sauces, canning, freezing, roasting, and everyday cooking.
