Hudson Valley Seed Co.
Purple Heart Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Certified Organic
Grown on Our Farm
A delicious variety from the Dwarf Tomato Project. These vigorous plants are multi-branching, productive, and on the large side for a dwarf variety–but less sprawling than most indeterminate tomatoes. The dark purple, reliably heart-shaped fruits are meaty in texture with a well-balanced flavor. As a medium-sized tomato, they’re also great for slicing and saucing! Great for growing in containers.

Growing instructions
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, then transplant outdoors to indicated spacing after all threat of frost has passed. All tomatoes benefit from staking; indeterminate varieties require it. Prune tomatoes when they reach about 24" high and are starting to produce small suckers. Keep plants from coming into contact with the soil, and water at the roots as often as possible to prevent the spread of soil borne disease. When fruit begin to become fully ripe, harvest every couple of days for the highest quality fruit. At the end of the season, harvest any fruits that have begun to take on color to ripen indoors.
