I'm excited to be offering 'Blush' tomatoes again this year!  Developed by breeder, Fred Hempel, of Artisan Seeds in 2011, 'Blush' is an open-pollinated variety that has received amazing success and interest.

This variety produces fruit that grow to a length of 2 to 3 inches and have an oblong rounded shape, tapering to a point at the blossom end. Shape is similar to 'Brad's Atomic Grape'. Colour matures into a gorgeous mango yellow, with pinkish-orange streaking.

I would describe the flavour of this tomato as sweet and mild in acidity, with a tropical feel. Delicious eaten fresh off the vine or raw in a salad.

I first grew 'Blush' tomatoes in 2014 and they are still one of my favourite cherry tomato types!

Growing Information:

Plants are indeterminate and require good staking to support tall growing vines.

Start seeds indoors at least 6 - 8 weeks before the final frost date. Please refer to my Seed Starting Calculator for specific planting dates for your area.

Transplant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed. Space plants a minimum of 2 to 3 feet apart, depending on how well plants are staked. Stay on top of removing suckers.

Tomatoes grow best in full sun.
