Indigo Rose tomatoes are a breathtaking addition to any garden with their deep purple hue that ripens to a rich, almost black shade due to their anthocyanin-rich skin. The flesh inside is a contrasting rosy red, offering both beauty and a tangy, sweet flavor that makes them perfect for fresh snacking or colorful salads. This indeterminate, open-pollinated variety produces medium-sized round fruits and thrives in full sun, creating a prolific harvest of antioxidant-rich tomatoes.
Key Features:
- Type: Indeterminate, Heirloom
- Color: Purple-black skin with red flesh
- Fruit Size: Medium
- Flavor: Sweet-tart, mildly earthy
- Growth Habit: Vigorous vines with extended fruiting season

Planting Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Begin seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sow ¼ inch deep in a seed-starting mix and maintain moisture. Bottom-water if possible.
- Transplanting: Move seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 24 inches apart.
- Sunlight: Full sun, 6-8 hours per day.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting foliage.
- Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support the plants as they grow.
