Purple Bumble Bee Cherry Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - Purple Bumble Bee tomatoes have become a popular market choice in recent years, likely as a result of their super delicious flavour and unique appearance! A vigorous vine produces multiple red skinned-purple striped, cherry sized fruits. The 1-1.5 inch sweet round-elongated fruits grow in clusters from tall indeterminate vines which will need a support system of a trellis or string.Â
Indeterminate growth.
60-70 days to maturity.
25 seeds per packet.
Planting Instructions: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in warm soil. Transplant seedlings into 1‑inch cells or 3–4 inch pots at the 1–2 leaf stage. Harden off plants for 4–5 days once the risk of frost has passed. Transplant outdoors when day and night temperatures consistently stay above 10 °C. Provide support such as cages or stakes to keep plants tidy and accessible at harvest.
