Patio Princess Alternatives in Romania?
 
I am ordering some seeds from Romania and I want to add Patio Princess, but I cant seem to find it in any seed sellers there.

Can TV members here advice varieties that are similar or even better?
My major concern is that I want to plant it on my balcony and so I dont want much bushy growth.
Plus Patio Princess seems to yield well in pots

How big a container do you want to use?

If it's really small, I would recommend Red Robin which will grow in a one-gallon (or 10") pot, small enough to fit on a windowsill.

If you have room for something bigger, you cannot go wrong with Maglia Rosa. I grow it in a 3-gallon pot, although some people grow them in hanging baskets. They are tasty and prolific.

Bajaja is a good tasting cherry tomato on a small plant. The size container you use will determine how large the plant gets. In the ground, mine is about 2' tall and wide.

It all depends what the seller you are buying from has. Morami for example has Liliput F1, which will fit the type.
But if growing on the balcony is what you want, you are probably better served by a bigger type, the minidwarfs are cute and everything, but production per used space is not great (since it doesn't grow upwards, which is actually a good way to grow on a balcony).

Thanks @zipcode , @Nan_PA_6b @Labradors2

Maybe I didnt state my issues clearer.
I will prefer a wall planter as the balcony itself is not very big.
The side of the wall where I want to hang the planter is 32 inches wide and I am willing to go up to human height in staking them up.
You can also see the type of Tomato plant that inspred my thinking - this is a PATIO PRINCESS

I will attach a pix of the type of planter pot/ system i will prefer
Its a wall hanging planter.

Can you tell me more popular websites I can shop seeds in Romania? I want to add another variety that I can plant within my compound (Cinto RZ F1 OR Matias F1).
I need both to come from same website

As I said, morami. It is probably the biggest in terms of seeds and it's also very reliable. It has all those varieties you want.

It doesn't have them all

Which ones are you talking about?

I think you are looking for a "micro" tomato plant. Some people like Tiny Tim.
