Indigo Rose Tomato Seeds (Heirloom, Open-Pollinated)
Grow one of the most eye-catching tomatoes in the garden. Indigo Rose Tomatoes are known for their deep purple skin that develops when exposed to sunlight, creating a dramatic contrast against their red flesh.
This unique indeterminate variety produces small salad-sized fruit that works beautifully as either a large cherry tomato or a small slicing tomato. If you want something bold, flavorful, and conversation-worthy in your garden, Indigo Rose delivers.

-
