Black Prince Heirloom Tomato Seeds – Deep Mahogany Russian Heirloom

Elevate your garden with the Black Prince Tomato, a legendary Siberian heirloom prized for its deep garnet-to-chocolate skin and rich, smoky-sweet flavor. Known as one of the most reliable "black" tomatoes, this variety thrives in cooler northern climates where other heirlooms might struggle, but it produces equally stunning, dark fruit in warmer regions.

Whether you're a gourmet chef or a home gardener, the Black Prince is a must-have for its juicy texture and complex, low-acid profile that makes it a standout in salads, sauces, and fresh slicing.

150 seeds per pack
