Description
This legendary tomato variety is a fascinating heritage from the early 1900s.

The variety produces fine fruits that usually weigh around 360 grams, but with the right conditions, the tomatoes can weigh twice as much.

The color of the tomatoes is a lovely golden hue, and the shapes vary. The flesh of Brandywine Yellow is incredibly flavorful and juicy.

It is a wonderful beefsteak tomato that is unbeatable in salads and cooking.

A reliable variety that has won many awards thanks to its fantastic taste.

Of all the beefsteak tomato varieties out there, this is our absolute favorite!

Care and cultivation advice

Start indoors in small pots from February to April. Fill the pots with 2/3 potting soil or vegetable soil and top with 1/3 seed soil. Try to keep the soil around 22-25 degrees Celsius until the seeds have sprouted, and then around 18-20 degrees Celsius. Make sure to store the seedlings in as much light as possible and water them gently.

When the roots start to appear at the bottom of the seedling pot, it is time to transplant the plant into a slightly larger pot, a process known as "potting up". One tip is to pinch back the plant once during indoor cultivation for a bushier appearance, which also helps prevent the plants from getting too "leggy".

Tomato plants should be transplanted outdoors after being hardened off properly and when the risk of frost is over and nighttime temperatures are no lower than 8 degrees Celsius. This variety needs to be staked and pruned to produce as many tomatoes as possible.

Remember to shake the tomato plant from time to time so that the sweet little yellow flowers are pollinated and produce more tomatoes. Tomatoes also benefit from reYellowar care, so giving the plants a little plant food once a week increases their chances of a bountiful harvest. Use plant food that is rich in phosphorus and potassium, but avoid fertilizers that contain too much nitrogen, as this can give the tomatoes a poor flavor.

Reviews

Why we started Florea

Florea grew out of a feeling that something was missing. We couldn’t find anyone online who truly inspired people to grow in a way that felt modern or relevant. It was either very technical or felt a little dated. To us, gardening has always been so much more: something emotional, creative and inspiring.

We wanted to show that gardening is about more than plants. It’s about the feeling of creating something yourself, the calm it brings and the positive effect it has on both body and mind. We felt that side of gardening wasn’t really being given the space it deserved.

What Florea stands for

In a world that keeps moving faster, where more is being automated and AI is always part of the conversation, we feel a strong need to hold on to what makes us human. Growing something yourself is a simple but powerful way to do that.

We often come back to our phrase “Fabrique moi même”, which to us means “created by me”. It captures the heart of what we believe: that the most meaningful things are often the ones you create yourself, even if they’re small or not quite perfect.

A family legacy since 1940

Florea was founded in 2020 by Erik Hoekstra, son of Johannes Hoekstra and grandson of Georg Hoekstra. The company is rooted in a family tradition where gardening and flowers have always been a natural part of life.

It all began with Georg, who grew up among the flower fields of Lisse in the Netherlands. After the Second World War, he began exporting flower bulbs to Scandinavia. Johannes later took over the business, and Erik grew up helping out in the family’s flower fields.

Through Florea, Erik wants to carry on his family’s love of gardening and help more people discover the joy of growing their own flowers, herbs and vegetables.

How do your pre-orders work?

A pre-order means you order and pay for an item when you buy it, and we deliver it at a later date that we let you know about.

What happens if I buy an in-stock item and a pre-order item?

If you buy an item we have in stock together with a pre-order item, you get a choice at checkout. Either we send your whole order once the pre-order item is in stock, or for a small fee we send the in-stock items straight away and the pre-order item follows later.
