Growing Information
Growing Beefy Purple Tomato
‘Beefy Purple’ is a striking new addition to the Cream of the Crop™ series, created by the breeders of the popular 'Purple Zebra' tomato and prized for its unusual coloring, meaty texture, and balanced sweet-tangy flavor. Large 12- to 14-ounce fruits develop mahogany skin with green striping and a dramatic purple interior, while the flesh is juicy and nearly seedless.
Start ‘Beefy Purple’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Compact plants reach about 2 to 3 feet tall and are well suited to raised beds, large containers, and smaller gardens.
Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick fruits once their characteristic mahogany-and-green coloring has fully developed.
Meaty, juicy, and colorful, ‘Beefy Purple’ is excellent for slicing, salads, sandwiches, and fresh eating.
