(Indeterminate/65-75 Days)
Helsing Junction blue aka Helsing Junction Blues is a beautiful open-pollinated variety that was named for Helsing Junction Farms in Washington State. This early producing cultivar is one of the tastiest and darkest of the antho/ indigo tomato varieties. Curled leaves are typical with this variety which actually helps them become darker (they darken with exposure to light). This is a really a fantastic indigo/ blue tomato variety!

Planting Instructions – Start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Do not plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
