Floradel, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Floradel — The University of Florida Heirloom Built for Heat, Humidity & High Yields

Floradel is the tomato for gardeners in hot, humid climates who struggle to get reliable production from standard varieties. Introduced by the University of Florida in 1976, it was specifically developed to withstand heat and humidity while delivering high yields of smooth, bright red, 5–7 ounce slicing tomatoes with slightly deep globes and attractive green shoulders. Crack-resistant and a good shipper, Floradel is an excellent choice for both home gardens and market growers who need a dependable, heat-tolerant slicer.

Perfect for sandwiches, salads, and slicing — a classic Southern garden tomato with proven performance.
