75 days, dwarf — The rugose, regular leaf plants of 'Dwarf Speckled Heart' produce smooth, five to twelve ounce, heart shaped tomatoes that are scarlet red in color with golden stripes. Though its meatiness makes it perfect for sauces, the depth of its balanced, rich flavor make it perfect for sandwiches and salads.
Due to its beauty, quality and productivity, 'Dwarf Speckled Heart' is Craig LeHoullier's favorite Dwarf Tomato Project release from the "Speckly" family. Craig selected and named this mid-season ripening variety. Volunteers that had a hand in its development, included Nancy Ruhl, Debra Kennedy, Carolyn Keiper, Gina McDermott, Brinda Rimaya, Susan Oliverson, Mickey Pasco-Powell, Robin Bort, Paul Fish, Jim Shaloiko, Reitzel Deaton, and Bill Minkey. Each packet contains at least 20 seeds.

First time planting and was the first to produce fruit and ripen. The first tomato was huge and scrumptious! They are very pretty tomatoes too. Love the Dwarf Tomato Project, perfect for a home garden! Planted in a raised bed that was filled with the Lasagna Gardening method. This is one tomato I plan on planting every year!
★★★★★ One of my very favorite dwarfs!

This very prolific dwarf variety produces lots of medium sized, heart shaped scarlet fruit with attractive vertical streak and stripes of gold. The flesh is deep red and really delicious. This tomato is perfect for all uses, from slicing to canning to sauce.
