Indigo Rose Tomato Seed
Best visually striking produce for adventurous home gardeners.
The Indigo™ Rose tomato offers a unique visual appeal with its nearly blue skin on the exposed portion of the fruit, which deepens to a rich red as it matures. Inside, the flesh is a vibrant rouge, boasting a complex and balanced tomatoey flavor. These indeterminate plants are known for their vigorous production of 2-inch round fruits. Developed at Oregon State University, this variety is open-pollinated and bred using traditional techniques. The fruit is rich in anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant also found in blueberries, contributing to its striking indigo pigmentation and potential health benefits. For the best taste and texture, harvest when the fruit's colors have deepened and it feels soft to the touch.
