Description
Cherry Tomato Seed Blend combines two delicious and eye-catching varieties: Blush and Black Cherry bring color, flavor, and variety to your summer garden. Perfect for snacking, salads, and garnishing, this blend offers both the sweet, striped beauty of Blush and the rich, deep flavor of Black Cherry in one convenient mix.
Cherry Tomato Seed Blend About the Varieties
Blush Cherry Tomato: Known for its elongated shape and pink-and-gold stripes, Blush tomatoes have a sweet, tropical flavor. They are highly productive and thrive in warm summer conditions, producing long trusses of fruit all season.
Black Cherry Tomato: A gardener’s favorite, Black Cherry produces round, deep burgundy-colored fruits with rich, complex flavor often described as smoky-sweet. They bring a gourmet touch to salads and fresh eating.
Both varieties are indeterminate, meaning they continue to grow and produce fruit until frost, giving you a long harvest window.
Starting Seeds Indoors
For best results, start cherry tomato seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a quality seed-starting mix. Maintain soil temperatures around 70–80°F for fast, reliable germination (usually within 5–10 days). Once seedlings develop their first true leaves, transplant them into larger containers to encourage strong root growth.
Harden off plants gradually before transplanting them outdoors into well-drained, nutrient-rich soil after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 24–36 inches apart in rows or cages for optimal airflow and sunlight exposure.
Growing & Harvesting
Provide full sun, consistent moisture, and regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer for best yields. As indeterminate varieties, Blush and Black Cherry tomatoes benefit from staking or caging to support vigorous growth and heavy fruit sets.
Fruits are ready to harvest when they develop full color—Blush with pink-gold marbling and Black Cherry with rich, mahogany tones. Pick frequently to encourage continuous production until fall frost.
Why Grow This Blend?
With two distinct flavors and colors, this blend brings gourmet diversity to your garden and table. Perfect for fresh eating, roasting, or colorful salads, these cherry tomatoes are easy to grow and highly productive all summer long.
