A beautiful yellow cocktail tomato marbled with pink, with an oval shape ending in a small point and fruity, tropical flavors.

What I like about Blush is the way its colors and flavor evolve as the fruits ripen. Its elongated fruits gradually change from golden yellow to increasingly pronounced shades of pink. Their firm, juicy flesh has a sweet flavor, accompanied by a slight acidity and fruity notes. The flavor develops as the fruits mature. They also keep very well, both on the vine and after harvesting.

Developed in the United States by Fred Hempel, this modern variety has a highly productive, indeterminate plant that can reach approximately 200 cm. Its beautiful cocktail tomatoes add a splash of color to the garden and the plate.

Every variety has its own personality. The best tomato isn’t the one that everyone likes, but the one that finds its place in your garden, your kitchen, and your habits.
