Description

(Solanum lycopersicum). Magnificent beauty and sumptuous sweetness make this tomato a favorite! Great for slicing and cooking as well!

Leviathan pink fruit is tiger striped with light pink yellow. From Fred Hempel of Artisan Seeds.

Growing Tips: Pink Jazz tomatoes grow best in full sun, requiring 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Plant them in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8. Consistent moisture is very important, but avoid overwatering. Support the vines with stakes, cages, or trellises to manage the weight of the large fruits.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before the last frost date in your area. Transplant seedlings outdoors after all frost danger has passed and temperatures stay above 60 F. Check your area's last frost date for precise timing. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post "Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources."

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and maintain a soil temperature of 70-80 F for germination. Use a heat mat to keep the soil warm if necessary. Transplant seedlings 24 inches apart, planting them deep in the soil, burying two-thirds of the plant to encourage strong root development.

How to Grow

Fertilize at planting time with a balanced formula, and side-dress with compost or fertilizer every few weeks. Prune by removing suckers to focus the plant's energy on fruit production. Apply mulch around the plants to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and reduce weed growth.

How to Save Seeds

  • Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
  • On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
  • For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
  • Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.

FAQ

How long does it take for Pink Jazz tomatoes to mature?

Under ideal conditions, they mature in about 85 days from transplanting, continuing to provide a steady harvest throughout the season.

Are Pink Jazz tomatoes resistant to diseases?
