The Purple Russian Tomato, also known as Ukrainian Purple, is a rare heirloom variety that originates from Ukraine. This non-GMO tomato variety is prized for its rich, deep purple skin, meaty texture, and sweet, aromatic flavor. These tomatoes have an oval, plum shape, typically measuring between 7-10 cm in length and weighing about 170 g. The fruit is crack-resistant, making it perfect for fresh consumption, cooking, sauces, and canning. 🌸
This heirloom variety is indeterminate, meaning it will continue growing and producing fruit throughout the season. The Purple Russian Tomato plant is compact to medium in size but highly productive, offering high yields even in limited space. With a growing season of about 80 days from transplant, it’s perfect for home gardeners who enjoy a long harvest period. 🌿
Plant Characteristics:
Indeterminate Growth: Continues producing fruit throughout the growing season.
High Yield: Small to medium-sized plants with generous fruit production.
Meaty Flesh & Sweet Flavor: Ideal for fresh eating, sauces, and cooking.
Crack-Resistant Fruit: Great for canning and handling.
Harvest Time: Approximately 80 days after transplant.
1️⃣ Preparation: Start seeds 6–8 weeks before transplanting. Use small containers (around 4”/10 cm) and a well-draining potting mix.
2️⃣ Sowing: Plant seeds 0.5–1 cm deep. Lightly water them, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering as it may cause fungal problems.
3️⃣ Germination: Keep the soil temperature between 21–29 °C (70–85 °F). Avoid very cold soil (<15 °C / 60 °F) or excessively hot soil (>32 °C / 90 °F), as this may hinder germination.
4️⃣ Seedling Care: Once true leaves appear, gradually expose seedlings to outdoor conditions for 5–10 days (hardening off). Protect them from direct sun, strong winds, and low humidity during this period.
5️⃣ Transplanting: After the last frost, transplant the seedlings outdoors when daytime temperatures reach 18°C (65°F). Space plants about 60 cm (24”) apart for proper growth.
💡 Store seeds in a cool, dry, dark place.
🌞 Do not freeze or expose to direct sunlight.
🔒 Keep in original packaging and out of reach of children.
