This is a medium to large sized fruit on an indeterminate plant. The fruit is a purple/brownish/red color with some bumps on the shoulder for that classic "heirloom look" and is exceedingly beautiful. The flesh can be a bit soft but the flavor is amazing. I don't tend to get fantastic yields off this one, but I still plant it every year for the color and flavor. Smaller plant that many other indeterminate varieties making it a candidate for large caged containers.
Packet: 40-83 seeds
Good to start from seed in these months:

This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here.
Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you can't find online.
The majority of the seed varieties will come from dedicated seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand. We always prioritize localized seed sources which have a sustainable and equitable business model.
