Indigo Rose Black Cherry Tomato

Indigo Rose black cherry tomato is a modern variety with an intense purple-black colour on the sun-exposed side, due to its high anthocyanin content, with red flesh and a flavour balanced between sweet and tangy.

The Indigo Rose Tomato Plant

It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate plant selected for its high anthocyanin content, antioxidant pigments typical of berries.

How to Sow Indigo Rose Tomato

Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 25°C; transplant between April and May.

How to Grow Indigo Rose Tomato

It needs full sun exposure, essential for developing the purple-black colouring on the skin; fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering complete the cultivation.

Tips for Indigo Rose Tomato

Harvest is staggered from July to September; unlike other tomatoes, ripeness is recognised by the softening of the red base of the fruit, not by a colour change of the dark part.

Diseases and Pests of Indigo Rose Tomato

It shows fair resistance to the main tomato diseases; it remains susceptible to blossom-end rot in case of irregular watering.

Uses and Curiosities of Indigo Rose Tomato

Its dark, unusual colour makes it perfect for decorative salads and raw dishes, while its balanced flavour also lends itself well to preserves with a distinctive colour.

Properties of Indigo Rose Tomato

Extremely rich in anthocyanins in addition to the usual lycopene, Indigo Rose tomato boasts superior antioxidant capacity compared to traditional varieties.
