Its bushy, compact growth habit makes it ideal for small garden spaces and container growing, while its reliable, early harvest ensures an abundant summer bounty.
Each plant is shipped at 4-6 inches tall during the spring season, ready to flourish in your garden and provide juicy, homegrown tomatoes.
