Growing Information
Growing Purple Boy Hybrid Tomato
‘Purple Boy’ is a dark tomato prized for its deep violet color and intense heirloom-style flavor. Juicy fruits have a strong tang with excellent acid balance, combining the rich character of classic dark tomatoes with improved disease resistance.
Start ‘Purple Boy’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ⅛ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Compact plants benefit from staking and pruning and are noted for disease resistance.
Ready to harvest in about 80 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and deep violet maturity.
Tangy, juicy, and richly flavored, ‘Purple Boy’ is excellent for fresh eating and slicing.
