Growing BlushingStar Hybrid Beefsteak Tomato
‘BlushingStar’ is a beefsteak-style tomato prized for combining heirloom-like appearance and flavor with dependable garden performance. Large 12- to 16-ounce fruits feature pink blush-colored skin, meaty flesh, and a sweet-savory flavor that shines in thick slices.
Start ‘BlushingStar’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 18 to 36 inches apart with generous row spacing, and grow in full sun. Tall vines can reach 6 to 7 feet and are noted for disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 73 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and develop their attractive pink blush.
Sweet, savory, and meaty, ‘BlushingStar’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, and salads.
