Tomato - Queen Of The Night

Minimum Seed Count: 10

🍅🌙 Queen of the Night Tomato – A true garden showstopper, this rare variety boasts deep, dusky purple skin kissed with a crimson glow where the sun touches it. Its jewel-like appearance is matched by an intense, layered flavor — smoky, sweet, and tangy all at once. Medium-sized and perfectly round, each fruit looks like it was plucked from a midnight garden under a full moon. Ideal for fresh slicing, adding drama to salads, or creating gourmet sauces, this tomato doesn’t just feed you — it turns heads.

 

🌱 Planting Guide

1. Start Indoors:

• When: 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost date.

• How: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a quality seed-starting mix. Keep soil at 70–80°F for best germination.

• Tip: Provide bright light or a grow lamp to prevent leggy seedlings.

2. Transplanting:

• When: After all danger of frost has passed and nights stay above 55°F.

• How: Harden plants off for 5–7 days, then plant outdoors 18–24 inches apart in rich, well-drained soil.

3. Care:

• Sun: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily).

• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Support: Use stakes, cages, or trellises — fruits can get heavy.

• Feeding: Fertilize every 2–3 weeks with a balanced or tomato-specific fertilizer.

4. Harvest:

• When: About 75–85 days from transplant.

• How: Pick when skin is a deep, glossy purple with red undertones — the flavor peaks when slightly soft to the touch.
