Cream Sausage Tomato Seeds

Give your summer kitchen a sunny change of pace. Cream Sausage produces elongated, creamy-yellow tomatoes with meaty flesh and a pleasantly mild flavor, perfect for a colorful salsa, fresh salad, or golden pasta sauce. Its bushy, determinate habit makes this open-pollinated variety a useful choice for raised beds and roomy containers.

Why Grow Cream Sausage?

• Distinctive yellow plum fruit: Smooth, sausage-shaped tomatoes approximately 3 inches long ripen from pale cream to yellow.
• Meaty flesh and mild flavor: Enjoy fresh, roast with garlic, or simmer into a yellow tomato sauce.
• Bushy determinate plants: Typically around 2–3 feet tall, with a more concentrated main harvest than indeterminate varieties.
• Container-friendly: A compact option for a generous container with good drainage and room for its spreading canopy.
• Open-pollinated selection: Bred by Tom Wagner and also known as Banana Cream; suitable for gardeners interested in saving seed.

Planting and Growing

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before your intended transplant date. Sow approximately ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix, provide warmth and strong light, and harden seedlings off gradually. Transplant after frost danger has passed and soil has warmed, into full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.

Allow approximately 24–36 inches between plants, adjusting for your growing setup. Although the bushy plants can grow without staking, a low cage or short stake can help keep fruit off the soil and support loaded branches. Avoid the routine single-stem pruning used for tall indeterminate tomatoes.

For square foot gardening, plan on 1 plant per 4 sq ft (allow extra canopy room). Water consistently at soil level and mulch to conserve moisture. In containers, check soil moisture frequently without leaving roots waterlogged.
