Know before you buy
Indeterminate means the vines will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. Because they grow 5-6 feet tall, you will need to provide sturdy stakes or cages for support.
You can expect to harvest your first tomatoes approximately 80 days after transplanting the seedlings into your garden.
While they thrive in raised beds or ground soil, you can grow them in large containers if you use a pot that holds at least 5-7 gallons of soil. Ensure you have a strong support system in place, as the plants can reach up to 6 feet in height.
Yes, because this is an open-pollinated heirloom variety, the seeds you save will grow true to type. This means the offspring will have the same bicolor appearance and flavor profile as the parent plant.
Their large size and smooth, meaty texture make them ideal for fresh slicing. They are particularly popular for sandwiches, salads, or as a colorful addition to a tomato platter where their marbled interior can be showcased.
No, these are untreated, non-GMO seeds and do not require any special preparation. You can plant them directly into your seed-starting mix following standard germination practices.
