Growing Information

Growing Darkstar Hybrid Beefsteak Tomato

‘Darkstar’ is a dark beefsteak tomato prized for its deep purple color, high yields, and rich heirloom-style flavor. Large fruits combine classic dark-tomato character with modern resistance to Late Blight.

Start ‘Darkstar’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Productive vines are noted for strong disease resistance.

Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick the beefsteak-size fruits once they reach full size and develop their rich purple color.

Deeply flavored, meaty, and versatile, ‘Darkstar’ is excellent for sandwiches, fresh eating, and sauces.

Darkstar is the name of a song by the Grateful dead. A great name for a great looking and tasting tomatoe that is truly out of this world. No 2 look exactly alike nor do they taste exactly the same. Yummmmmm

Poor Performer

Not a good selection for northern gardens in the Great Lakes region. In a summer with sufficient sunshine for all the other tomatoes to not develop green shoulders and gray wall - every single Darkstar has green tops. Hard green tops at that so the top third of the tomato is pretty much useless. For canning/freezer tomatoes this isn't a deal breaker but it is for slicing. And it is not that resistant to late blight either. My tried and true heirlooms have better resistance than these plants.

Good germination

These grew very well. The tomatoes are delicious. I received 8 seeds, and six of them germinated.

Great product

I received my purchases on time and they exactly as advertised. I could not be more happier with my selection of seeds. I will most definitely buy from this seller many times I am sure of.
