Description

The Artisan Bumble Bee Blend combines three vibrant and flavorful cherry tomatoes: Pink, Purple, and Sunrise Bumble Bee. Each tomato in this beautiful blend is striped, with no two alike, and provides a sweet, tangy burst of flavor. These 1 ½” round, bicolor fruits—ranging from pink to purple and yellow/orange—are perfect for eating fresh off the vine or adding to salads. The robust vines, which can reach up to 6' or longer, produce abundant yields throughout the season. With crack resistance and easy-to-identify organic color-coded seeds, this blend makes for an exciting addition to your garden.
