Experience the Bold, Exotic Flavor of the Black Krim Tomato
☀️ Full Sun🌱 High Germination🌍 All Zones💎 Heirloom
For adventurous gardeners and true culinary experts, the Black Krim is an absolute revelation. Originating from the Crimean peninsula, this incredibly heirloom variety produces medium-to-large slicing tomatoes marked by their striking dark maroon, almost greenish-purple shoulders.
However, its legendary status comes entirely from its remarkable taste. Black Krim tomatoes offer an intensely bold, sweet, and distinctly smoky flavor profile with a natural hint of saltiness that cannot be found in standard red supermarket varieties.
Our pure, Black Krim seeds are meticulously tested for high germination rates. These indeterminate vines thrive in the summer heat and yield surprisingly heavy crops for a dark heirloom type. If you want to completely transform your summer sandwiches, artisan salads, and garden aesthetics, the Black Krim is the prize.

🪴 Your Growing Journey
1. Starting Indoors Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last risk of frost, lightly covering with 1/4 inch of sterile mix.
2. Germination Keep the environment very warm (75-85°F). Sprouts should successfully appear within 7 to 14 days.
3. Hardening Off Transition plants outside slowly, increasing sunlight exposure incrementally over a full week to prevent shock.
4. Transplanting Plant outdoors in the sunniest spot available, spacing at least 24 to 36 inches apart. Plant deep to encourage a massive root system.
5. Care Constant, even watering is crucial to prevent the skins from cracking, which dark heirlooms can be prone to. Tall stakes or robust cages are absolutely required for the heavy vines.
