Blush, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Blush, Heirloom Tomato Seeds — The Blushing Grape Tomato With Sweet, Fruity Flavor

Blush is the tomato that earns its name. Developed by Fred Hempel of Baia Nicchia Farm in California, these charming 2-inch elongated, grape-shaped fruits start out clear yellow before blushing with pink streaks as they ripen — a color transformation that makes harvest timing intuitive and the vine genuinely beautiful. The flavor is sweet, fruity, and refreshing, with a clean brightness that makes them irresistible eaten straight from the vine or tossed into salads and grain bowls.

Known for heavy production throughout the season, Blush is an indeterminate variety that keeps delivering wave after wave of these elegant little fruits from midsummer through frost. 75 days.

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 develop pink blush streaks and give slightly to gentle pressure.
