- Maryam P.CT, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars8/15/26Beautiful but bland
I’ve had no issues with germination or growing these beautiful tomatoes, but I won’t bother again. They taste like a bland grocery store tomato; fine but uninspiring. Other varieties I’ve grown this season like 1884 or Cherokee Purple were delicious so I don’t think it’s my garden. I’m gardening in New England.

- Angela H.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/28/26All sprouted
So far the seedlings are little but they all sprouted in about 12 days, I was even able to thin a few and put them in their own pots. Can’t wait to see how big and strong they grow!

- FrancescaVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9/20/25Beautiful addition to your garden
Delicious and beautiful! They are a stunning fruit that everyone always comments on when they see them. Very prolific. Semi determinate but mine are around 5 ft tall right now and still climbing. Easily one of my top 5 things to grow.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests9/22/25Hey Francesca,
What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Indigo Rose Pole Cherry Tomatoes are being such stunning showstoppers and delivering that perfect combination of beauty and delicious flavor!
Your growing experience sounds like it's going absolutely perfectly - those 5-foot tall plants that are still climbing really show how happy these tomatoes are in your garden setup! It's so exciting when a variety exceeds expectations like that, especially with the vigorous growth you're seeing. The semi-determinate nature of Indigo Rose really gives you the best of both worlds - that manageable growth habit but with the climbing potential that keeps producing.
We love that you're getting the full Indigo Rose experience - not only are they producing prolifically for you, but those absolutely gorgeous dark purple shoulders with the red bottoms are clearly making quite the impression on everyone who sees them! There's something so special about these tomatoes because they're true conversation starters - people just can't help but comment when they see those stunning, almost black-looking fruits hanging on the vine.
It's such high praise that they've earned a spot in your top 5 things to grow! That really speaks to how this variety delivers on all the things that matter most - incredible looks, great taste, reliable production, and that wow factor that makes gardening so rewarding.
Your experience will be so helpful for other gardeners who are looking for a tomato variety that's as beautiful as it is productive!
Thank you so much for sharing such an enthusiastic review about both the visual impact and growing performance!
Keep on growing 🌻️
