INDIGO BLUE BEAUTY

Description

This cross made with ‘Beauty King’ and a blue tomato produces a heavy crop of meaty, sizeable beefsteak fruits which stay well on the vine for an extended period and also are sunburn and crack resistant. They are uniquely coloured, beginning as a stunning true blue on top with a green bottom and sides. As they ripen fully, the purple deepens eventually turning deep reddish, when they develop their excellent flavour and are ready to harvest. Indeterminate

Sowing Advice

Seeds are surface-sown or covered only slightly. Do not allow the soil to dry out. Containers are held in warm conditions until sprouts appear, which may take anywhere from 3-10 days. Move sprouting plantings immediately to bright light conditions, such as a south-facing window. Inadequate light is a frequent cause of failure of young seedlings. At about the time of last frost, set out seedlings into pots. Remove side-shoots and support the plant.
