Description

Cherry tomato 'Indigo' (often called Indigo Rose) is a spectacular variety with round, glossy fruits that are almost black on top with purple and red highlights when ripe. Its rich color comes from its high content of anthocyanins, natural antioxidants. It offers firm flesh that is slightly tart at first, becoming sweeter as it matures. Ornamental, nutritious, and flavorful, this indeterminate variety is also very productive and disease-resistant.
