Description
(Indeterminate/70-75 days)
Indigo Cherry Drop was one of the most beautiful tomatoes in our personal garden this year, containing high levels of the antioxidant anthocyanin (also found in blueberries), giving them the indigo color. They’re perfect snacking size at a little over an inch and are juicy and delicious. They are very vigorous and produce clusters of rosy red fruit with varying amounts of purple, some being almost entirely dark. These definitely became a conversation piece with everyone who sees them!

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.
