Despite its name, the fruits are actually deep pink rather than purple, with smooth skin, meaty flesh, and a rich, sweet tomato flavor that rivals some of the most famous heirlooms. The beefsteak-style tomatoes commonly weigh 10–16 ounces and are excellent for slicing, sandwiches, salads, and fresh eating. Vigorous indeterminate plants are productive and often produce earlier than many other large-fruited heirloom varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Grow Pruden's Purple Tomato from Seed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start indoors in trays or pots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36–48 inches\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–14 days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70–80 days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Maintain soil temperatures between 70–85°F for optimal germination. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Plant deeply to encourage strong root development and provide sturdy cages or stakes to support the vigorous vines and heavy fruits. Water consistently throughout the growing season and mulch around plants to help retain moisture. Harvest when fruits develop a rich pink color and feel slightly soft for the best flavor and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheap Seeds, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51387084669092,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/2660\/8036\/files\/prudens-purple-tomato.png?v=1782148481","url":"https:\/\/cheapseeds.net\/products\/prudens-purple-tomato-seeds","provider":"Cheap Seeds, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
