Overview
Indigo Rose is an open-pollinated cocktail tomato that Jim Myers of Oregon State University developed with conventional breeding, and it was among the first tomatoes with purple anthocyanin pigment in the skin. Fruits of 1 to 2 ounces are green with purple shoulders when unripe and turn purple-red when ripe; wait for the bottom to redden and the fruit to soften before picking. Plants are compact indeterminates and ripen late, around 91 days, so stake them and be patient.
