What makes it special?
Indigo Rose is an anthocyanin-rich tomato from breeding work at Oregon State University. Its round fruit turns almost black-violet in sunny spots; the shaded underside shows a red base tone at full ripeness.
The medium-sized tomatoes taste well-balanced, mildly sweet and lightly tart. For good ripening, the variety needs plenty of sun and warmth.
Flavour & Use
Well-balanced, mildly sweet and lightly tart. For eating fresh, salad, a light lunch, salsa and colourful tomato platters.
Fruit & Plant
Round, medium-sized fruit with dark violet to nearly black skin in sunny spots and a red base tone at full ripeness. Around 50–80 g.
Growing & Care
Grow in full sun and warmth so colour and ripeness develop well. Use a support and train to one or two shoots for manageable growing. In a pot, plan for at least 20 litres of soil.

Indigo Rose tomato plant – a young plant raised by us
Indigo Rose – special features of the variety
Indigo Rose came from a breeding programme at Oregon State University led by Jim Myers. The variety was specifically selected for pronounced anthocyanin colouring of the skin. Sun-exposed areas turn dark violet to nearly black; for judging harvest time, the red base tone on the less-exposed side is especially helpful.
Fruit, flavour and use
The round fruit weighs around 50 to 80 grams. Fully ripe, it has a well-balanced, mildly sweet flavour with light acidity. It suits salads, a light lunch, salsa and colourful tomato platters. Unripe fruit can still be firm despite its dark skin, so also watch for the red base tone and a slight yield to pressure.
Growing in a bed or pot
Depending on location, Indigo Rose grows compact indeterminate to semi-determinate and reaches around 120 to 180 centimetres. A support is worthwhile; for cordon growing, prune only moderately. Full sun and warmth encourage the dark skin colouring. In a pot, use at least 20 litres of soil and water evenly.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Indigo Rose tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. After shipping, the young plant should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and wind. It only goes outdoors permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
