Tomato Indigo Rose
Tomato Indigo Rose. A stunning coloured purple variety developed by years of natural cross breeding selection. The medium size fruits of around 70-80g have a plum like flavour, which is best when the colour changes from shiny purple to a dull purple-brown to complete the development of sugars and acids.
Reported to produce the highest anthocyanin levels of any tomato commercially available anywhere in the world and has the darkest colour. It can be as black as an aubergine at the unripe early growth stage. Best grown under in Glass in the UK. Indeterminate.
