95 days, indeterminate — 'Variegated' is a very unique variety. Although we have seen tomatoes with interesting chartreuse-colored (lutescent) foliage, this is the first tomato variety that we have seen that has variegated leaves. The whole plants aren't variegated. "Splashes" of cream colored leaves are produced making it an attractive edible ornamental plant.
The plants are very productive. Its red fruit are small (two to five ounces), round, free from blemishes or cracking and have a good flavor. Originally from Europe, 'Variegated' was sent to us in 2004 by author and tomato authority Craig LeHoullier. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
Probably one of the most unique varieties as far as variegation is concerned! Absolutely beautiful! When growing from seed, please be aware that not each baby will be highly variegated. Adult plants, due to the lack of pigment, are not big and 'fluffy' and need to be protected from intense sun. Production is not high, but still good. Fruits are also variegated when green/immature. Very unique and rare variety.
