The 'Indigo Rose' tomato is a unique variety that produces round, almost black fruits at maturity in sun-exposed areas, while the shaded part turns deep red. This spectacular coloration is due to a high concentration of anthocyanins.
The fruits offer a sweet to slightly tart flavor, more balanced than very sweet. The plant is vigorous and productive, indeterminate, producing clusters of tomatoes throughout the season.
