The listing, Heirloom ✽ PURPLE CALABASH ✽ Specialty Tomato ✽ 15 Seeds ✽ Organic has ended.

One of the prettiest of the "purple" heirloom tomatoes, they have a ruffled flower pattern when sliced. The flavor is intense, both sweet and tart with hints of citrus. The plants give huge yields, and stood up well in the heat of summer without even a crack or crevice. The culture of the ribbed and scalloped-shaped Purple Calabash tomato dates to pre-Columbian Mexico.

Propagation Method: From seed, sow seeds indoors 6 weeks before last spring frost. Sow 2-3 seeds per pot and thin to one plant per container. After four weeks, transplant seedlings to larger pots, and about 10 days before the last spring frost, begin hardening the plants to the outdoors. Transplant your plants to a sunny, highly composted location when soil temperatures are at least 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Stake or cage the plants for support and to prevent sprawling on the ground.
