Details
Sprite is an excellent choice for lovers of grape tomatoes with limited space, perfectly suited for small gardens and patio gardening. Our organic tomato seeds yield short, highly productive, regular-leaf plants that produce brilliant red, oval grape tomatoes in large numbers, offering refreshingly sweet flavors. With thin skins and packed with sweet juice, these tomatoes are reminiscent of the original grape tomatoes, providing continuous production all season until the first frost. As an early-season tomato, Sprite is exceptional in salads or as a fresh snack, making it ideal for those seeking quality without the need for large, indeterminate plants.
