Eye-catching and distinctive heirloom variety originally from the Rhine region in Germany - celebrated for its striking appearance. Produces small to medium-sized fruit with gentle ribbing at the shoulders. When fully ripe, the tomatoes display a stunning blend of deep red to orange tones, highlighted by dramatic indigo-black streaking. The dense flesh delivers a rich, full flavour with a subtle hint of spice. An indeterminate variety that is exceptionally productive on a manageable, vigorous vine.
While we have read that this is a tall variety, we trialed several different strains and found all of them to be under 125cm. Each plant is very productive.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
