Althea is the new variety name for our original Purple Tomato that you already know and love. Althea is an indeterminate large-fruited cherry tomato with a highly vigorous vegetative growth and a strong main stem. Fruit forms green, then turns purple in the skin and flesh. Ready for harvest when fruit comes off the vine with a gentle twist. Purple Tomatoes continue to ripen off the vines and are best eaten when the fruit gives slightly with a gentle squeeze.

  • Each packet contains 10 seeds 
  • Our Purple Tomato is bioengineered to produce antioxidants in the skin and flesh, making the entire fruit more nutritious. 
  • Purple Tomatoes have a deliciously earthy savory flavor and the purple color elevates every dish.
