Tomato Indigo Blue Beauty - Seed

Tomato Indigo Blue Beauty.

A very special purple tomato that is packed with antioxidants like blueberries! So super healthy without sacrificing the taste of a good tomato. This beautiful tomato was not created by genetic manipulation, but by traditional crossing of various tomato varieties. In sunlight the tomato appears to have a blue color, the green bottom turns deep red during ripening.

Shelter or lean-to

Tomato Indigo Blue is resistant to our climate, but does need a warm and sheltered spot on the south. They can also be grown in pots, so you can easily place the plants under a shelter during heavy rainfall. Harvest when the skin is shiny. The ripe flesh may be purple on the inside, but that is not necessary.
