Patrick's Purple Tomato (10-15 seeds)
History:
Patrick's Purple originates from J&L Gardens in the US. They describe the history as:
"My friend, Patrick, gave me seed he had saved from a tomato plant I'd given him. It was supposed to be a smaller, purple grape tomato, but in fact was a perfect, round, purple slicing or salad tomato. Tomatoes don't get much more handsome than this one and the flavour is all you would expect - spicy and slightly salty.
I picked a lot of these for market this summer and it produced until frost. Vigorous plants reach 6 foot or more."
Characteristics:
Colour: As the name suggests, the tomatoes ripen to a purple hue. This unique hue makes them a standout in any garden or on the dinner table.
Size: Patrick's Purple tomatoes tend to be round, salad size.
Flavour: These tomatoes have a fabulous flavour profile that I found to be sweet and complex.
Yield: The yield from Patrick's Purple is good with well populated trusses of delicious fruit on plants that grow to around 2m
