Description
True black!
Salad tomato with a slightly spicy aroma.
Indigo Rose is a late-ripening salad tomato with a spicy aroma. It has a fruit weight of 50 g and is suitable as an eye-catcher in salads, for direct consumption or to add a special touch to vegetable dishes. The fruits turn a spectacular black very early when exposed to light and only take on a red-purple hue when fully ripe. They have a very high anthocyanin content. Despite the late ripening of the fruit, Indigo Rose has a good yield potential. The plant is of medium height. Very high temperatures should be avoided. Indigo Rose should be grown under a sheltered roof or in a greenhouse. It should be regularly pinched out and tied up. A sufficient supply of nutrients increases the yield.
