WonderStar Red Hybrid Beefsteak Tomato
Growing WonderStar Red Hybrid Beefsteak Tomato
‘WonderStar Red’ is a hybrid tomato prized for early maturity, heavy yields, and excellent garden-fresh flavor. Bright red, flattened fruits average about 8 to 10 ounces, with some reaching a pound under ideal conditions, and combine juicy sweetness with a pleasant tang.
Start ‘WonderStar Red’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 18 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Compact determinate plants are well suited to smaller gardens and are noted for disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 65 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and bright red maturity.
Sweet, tangy, and substantial, ‘WonderStar Red’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, and salads.
