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.

★★★★★ Beautiful Green Stripes and Red (2-3oz) Cocktail Tomatoes
By Amy Chen-Huang (Silver Spring, MD) on July 28, 2026

One of the most uniques tomatoes to grow in my garden. It has variagated leaves/stems, which is unusual, and grows to 4 feet tall. The same goes with the tomato fruit. The fruit's stripes pattern reminds me of Pink Berkeley Tie Die Beefsteak tomato; just with a smaller fruit size. The plant is vigorous and gives plenty of cocktail size tomatoes. In my zone 7b garden, the tomato plant has been disease/pest resistant. As for the taste, the tomato has a sweet and acidic taste. But, the tomato's gel cavity and tomato's skin are prominent, not in a good way. In opinion, this unique cocktail tomato is better roasted than eaten fresh. Fun tomato to grow for being unique plant/fruit! Easy to grow due to being compact.

★★★★★ Nice cultivar!
By Doug (Northern Colorado) on August 23, 2024

Tried 4 dwarf tomatoes this year and this was by far my favorite. Nice flavor/aroma with a bit of tang on numerous smallish fruits on sturdy plants that are about 4' tall when trained up a length of dangling twine. Not sure whether the notably sturdy plants were due to a change in how I grew the seedlings (I held them in pretty cold but well lit conditions for several weeks prior to planting out) or due to them being dwarf cultivars but the robustness of these really stands out next to more typical varieties that I didn't need to hold in the cold.
