Why are some seeds tagged with F1 at the end of their name?

Thanks.

It means they are a hybrid. If you save seed from this hybrid plant it will not grow true the next time.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
I'm after the Micro Tom tomatos. So if I see them without F1 after the name, does this means they are stabilized and will produce the same (true) plant from the next crop's seed?

From what I understand the Micro Tom is an open pollinated variety so all seeds are true.
