Organic Rosella Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

This delectable heirloom produces abundant, tumbling vines of tiny (1/2) purple-pink cherry tomatoes. The flavor description could come from a sommelier bright berry and grape notes, sweet with a touch of acidity. Rosella is happy in your garden or your raised bed. We love our Rosellas fresh, grilled, sauted, and gently simmered in sauces with sweet basil and a snippet of oregano. Rosella has few seeds for a smaller cherry and is sturdy enough for market growers.
