Purple Bumblebee tomato plant – a young plant raised by us

Purple Bumblebee – special features of the variety

Purple Bumblebee belongs to the striped Artisan tomato series. Its round fruit ripens dark red to purple and keeps its striking, metallic green stripes. The pattern becomes especially high-contrast at full ripeness, making the variety a striking part of colourful tomato platters.

Fruit, flavour and use

The cherry tomatoes usually weigh around 20 to 30 grams and are roughly two to three centimetres in size. Their flavour is sweet, fruity and lightly spicy, with balanced acidity. They suit snacking, salads, a light lunch, or as a dark contrast in caprese and garnishes.

Growing in a bed or pot

Purple Bumblebee grows indeterminate and needs a sturdy support. One or two main shoots make tying in and harvesting easier. Plant in a sunny, warm and, where possible, sheltered spot. In a pot, use at least 15 to 20 litres of soil and water evenly so the fruit ripens without strong swings in moisture.

A tomato young plant, raised by us

We raise the Purple Bumblebee 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.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Highly recommended!

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!

longterm customer

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#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!
