Territorial Seed Company Indigo Rose Tomato

Indeterminate 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, vigorous growth.

The fruit is ripe when the shaded, green portions turn a deep, dull red and the tomato feels slightly soft to the touch. The dark indigo skin color is triggered by sunlight, so it will appear early in the fruit's development, but the color change on the underside is your true indicator of maturity.

Yes, they offer a distinct, multi-faceted flavor profile that is often described as savory and well-balanced. While they are visually striking, the flavor is generally considered richer and more complex than a standard red slicing tomato.

These tomatoes require full sun, which means at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. This exposure is critical not just for plant health, but for developing the signature dark indigo pigment in the skin.

No, the Indigo Rose tomato was developed using traditional, non-GMO breeding techniques. The high anthocyanin content is a result of selective breeding, not genetic engineering.

Because these plants are vigorous growers, you should space them 36 to 48 inches apart in rows. This spacing ensures adequate airflow, which helps prevent disease and makes managing the open growth habit much easier.
