Details
Cosmic Eclipse tomatoes have a rich, sweet, and juicy flavor. Medium sized (2 to 4 ounces) fruits start off green with dark green stripes that turn to striking indigo-colored splashes on the skin. Fruits ripen to a spangled brick-red with green stripes, complemented by lots of black anthocyanin. With a striking multi-colored finish, these delicious fruits do not disappoint!
