Tomato 'Black Russian' Heirloom Seeds

It was the tomato that inspired our business, and in particular this old heirloom variety that produces a dark skinned, almost purple coloured, sweet fleshed tomato of the absolute highest quality. These remarkable heirloom seeds offer a genuine connection to gardening heritage, delivering exceptional flavour that modern varieties simply can't match. Tomatoes are very nitrogen-hungry plants, so prepare your soil thoughtfully by integrating nitrogen-rich pea or broad bean plants as a green manure crop. Alternatively, mix compost and chook manure through your patch a fortnight prior to planting to give your seedlings the nutrient boost they need to thrive. With proper soil preparation and care, you'll be rewarded with stunning dark-skinned fruits that showcase that distinctive purple hue and rich, complex sweetness that makes Black Russian tomatoes so prized by home gardeners and food lovers alike. Perfect for those seeking authentic, flavourful tomatoes grown from seed in their own garden.
