60 days, dwarf - The rugose, regular leaf plants of 'Dwarf Mignonne' produce loads of three ounce, pear shaped fruit that ripen to yellow with strong black antho on the shoulders. They are juicy and mild. These produce very well in a wide variety of conditions, including the hot and dry climates of the Southwest. The plant is dwarf, reaching upwards of around 4 feet.

A "Dwarf Tomato Project" introduction, Craig LeHoullier crossed 'Dwarf Saucy Mary' with an unstable antho producing cherry type from Marcia Dillon (who obtained the cherry originally from Tom Wagner). The team of Master Gardeners at the Bellevue, WA Demonstration Garden grew out and selected this variety. It was named by Master Gardener Traci Hanna as a play on "minion" from the movie "Despicable Me" because the tomato looks just like a minion!

Our 2025 introduction is the 10th generation and is mostly stable. It occasionally produces red fruit with black antho as an off-type.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.

Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

★★★★★ A very different variety!
By Timothy Major (SWEET HOME, OR) on October 28, 2026

These plants produced simply LOADS of tiny, pear-shaped, deep purple cherry-sized tomatoes. When ripe, they get a yellow flush to the bottom of them. They even have purple juice! Very fun.

A nice variety, very productive, and looks great.

★★★★★ Will grow again!

I ordered these because they look very unique. The plant has grown well this summer and I just picked my first set of ripe fruits. They are mild and split less than other varieties I'm growing. The larger ones are perfect to slice up for a salad, the small ones didn't make it in the house 😋

★★★★★ Dwarf Mignonne Tomato
By Laura Wilder (Garland, TX) on June 17, 2025

I have not tasted these tomatoes yet since they are just beginning to ripen. However I am givig them a five-star review for their vigor and abundance. I have never had such strong, beautiful tomato plants before.
