dense, creamy flesh. If you are shopping for standout tomato seeds, these Amana Orange seeds deliver both size and rich, mild taste. Who it's for Perfect for the hobby gardener who loves slicing tomatoes for sandwiches and burgers, and for anyone who wants a colorful, conversation-starting heirloom at the summer table. How & when to plant Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost, sowing 1/4 inch deep in warm soil (70–80°F). Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun (at least 6–8 hours daily). These indeterminate plants grow best staked or caged and thrive in USDA zones 3–11 when grown as a warm-season annual. Harvest Expect ripe fruit about 80–90 days after transplanting. Pick when the shoulders turn a soft, even orange and the fruit yields slightly to gentle pressure. Harvest regularly to keep vines productive through the season. Benefits & uses The mild, sweet flavor and meaty texture make Amana Orange ideal for fresh slices, sandwiches, and colorful tomato salads. Its low-acid profile is a favorite for those who find red tomatoes too tangy, and the large fruits are excellent for canning as golden sauce or juice. Growing guide: New to this variety?
