Lillian’s Yellow is a rare heirloom tomato that was cultivated by Lillian Bruce of Manchester, Tennessee. It is a true connoisseurs tomato, taking a long time to mature, but it is definitely worth the wait. This is definitely one of the best yellow heirloom tomatoes that there is. It produces large fruit with very seeds that generally range between 10-16 ounces, occasionally getting up to a pound and a half. They have a complex and full flavor that will make you want to grow them every year.

Planting Instructions – Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not Plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
