Mother Russia, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Mother Russia, Heirloom Tomato Seeds — The Heart-Shaped Russian Heirloom With Dense, Meaty Flavor

Fitting for a tomato named Mother Russia, these large, flavorful pink tomatoes ripen in the shape of a heart — a romantic and striking form that makes them as beautiful on the plate as they are in the garden. Regular-leaf plants produce a good yield of 8–12 oz fruits with dense, meaty flesh and a delicious, rich flavor that rewards patient gardeners who let them ripen fully on the vine. Indeterminate, maturing in just 72 days.

Mother Russia is the tomato for gardeners who want something genuinely distinctive — a variety with character, heritage, and flavor that earns its place in the garden year after year.

Why Grow Mother Russia?

• 8–12 oz dense, meaty flesh — rich, satisfying flavor

• Indeterminate — productive through the full season
• Open-pollinated — save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in fertile, well-draining soil. Transplant outdoors after all frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Stake or cage vines. Water consistently. Harvest when fruits are fully pink and give slightly to gentle pressure.
