Compact growth and bright orange harvests
This compact tomato bush produces delicious, grape-sized, bright orange fruits with an appealing color and fresh flavor. Its tidy habit fits easily into patio containers, raised beds, and small sunny garden spaces.
A practical choice for gardeners with limited room, it provides an abundant edible accent without taking over the landscape. Place it near an outdoor seating or cooking area for convenient picking throughout the harvest season.

That means bigger flowers, more colorful foliage, reblooming, disease resistance, new habits, or anything that makes them more beautiful and easier to grow in your landscape or garden.
Pollination Info
Proven Winners® Patio Gems™ Orange Dwarf Tomato Bush Pollination
Proven Winners® Patio Gems™ Orange Dwarf Tomato Bushs are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Proven Winners® Patio Gems™ Orange Dwarf Tomato Bush will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Plant in rich, well-drained soil or a container with drainage holes, setting the root ball level with or slightly below the soil surface. Wait until frost danger has passed before planting outdoors.
2. Watering: Water deeply whenever the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep moisture consistent, especially during flowering and fruit development, as sharp changes can cause fruit problems. Container-grown plants may need daily watering in hot weather.
3. Pruning: Little pruning is needed for this dwarf bush tomato. Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to improve airflow, but avoid heavy sucker pruning. Add a small cage or support if branches become weighed down with fruit.
4. Fertilizing: Feed with a fertilizer formulated for tomatoes or vegetables, following label directions. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages leafy growth at the expense of flowers and fruit.
