Tomato - Indigo Rose ORGANIC (Seeds)

PRODUCT DETAILS

Indigo Rose Organic Tomato is a truly unique variety that produces striking dark purple-skinned fruits with a fresh, slightly sweet and acidic flavour reminiscent of plums. The saladette-style tomatoes average approximately 50 g (1.7 oz.) each and grow in attractive clusters on vigorous vines.

Developed at Oregon State University using traditional plant breeding, Indigo Rose was one of the first improved tomato varieties bred to contain high levels of anthocyanin in the fruit. The purple colouring develops where the skin is exposed to sunlight.

Knowing when to harvest is important with this unusual tomato. Ripe fruits change from a shiny blue-purple to a duller purple-brown, begin to soften, and develop red colouring on the bottom.

Plants have a compact, semi-indeterminate growth habit with good disease resistance and vigorous production.
