Tomato Growers Indigo Rose Tomato

Since the skin turns purple early on, color isn't the best indicator. Wait until the fruit softens slightly to the touch and the bottom of the tomato shifts from green to a dull red or rosy color.

The purple skin is primarily for visual appeal and high antioxidant content, specifically anthocyanins. The flavor profile is classic tomato—savory and balanced—but you must let them fully ripen on the vine to achieve the best sweetness.

No, the Indigo Rose was developed using traditional, conventional breeding methods. It is a non-GMO variety.

Because this is an indeterminate variety, the vines will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season until the first frost. You will definitely need to provide sturdy stakes, cages, or a trellis to support the heavy, abundant clusters of fruit.

Yes, you can save seeds from these tomatoes, but keep in mind that Indigo Rose is an open-pollinated variety. If you are growing other tomato varieties nearby, cross-pollination can occur, meaning the seeds you save may not produce plants identical to the parent.
