★★★★★ If Rosella Purple struggles for you, try this one!
By Craig LeHoullier on February 9, 2022

I like to recommend this variety for folks who love the flavor of Rosella Purple but find that it has fruit set or splitting issues. The tomatoes aren't quite as large, but are more smooth and a bit rounder. The nice purple colored fruit don't have quite the big flavor of Rosella Purple, but are plenty good enough for great eating. It has risen to one of my favorite varieties for its quality and dependability.
