Purple Calabash Tomato Seeds | Heirloom | Organic

Description: (Indeterminate/80 days) Purple Calabash is an ancient heirloom that dates back to pre-colonial times and has the old time look and taste to match. It was actually a favorite variety of tomato enthusiast and president Thomas Jefferson. It produces medium sized (2-3 inch fruit) that is heavily ribbed, and probably the most purple-colored of all the varieties, with a bit of a chocolate tint. The flavor profile is a unique blend of rich, tangy, and acidic flavors. Very complex and delicious.

Do not plant out until 2 weeks after last frost. Tomato seeds require high soil temperatures for good germination rates. We highly recommend heat mats to ensure and speed up germination. Pot up to 3–4 inch pots when first true leaves develop (not cotyledon leaves). Harden off plants for 1-2 weeks in full sun before transplanting them outside (after last frost). Make sure to give tomato plants a lot of space for vigorous root and foliage growth.
