Mountain Valley Seed Company Indigo Rose Tomato Seeds

An indeterminate growth habit means the plant will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire growing season until the first frost. Unlike determinate varieties that ripen all at once, these plants require staking or caging to support their continuous upward growth.

The deep purple color is caused by high concentrations of anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries. The pigmentation develops most intensely when the fruit is exposed to direct sunlight, so ensure your plants are in a sunny spot for the best color.

Indigo Rose tomatoes are ready to harvest when the skin turns from a shiny purple to a dull, dark purple-brown, and the bottom of the fruit shifts from green to a dull red. They should also feel slightly soft to the touch when gently squeezed.

Yes, they can be grown in large containers or raised beds, provided the container is deep enough to support a large root system. Because they are indeterminate, you will need to provide a sturdy trellis or cage to support the plant as it grows.

For optimal airflow and disease prevention, space your plants 24 to 36 inches apart. This spacing is particularly important for this variety to help maintain its natural resistance to blight and mildew.

Yes, these are heirloom, non-GMO seeds. They are open-pollinated, meaning you can save the seeds from your harvest to plant again the following season.
