Midnight Snack Tomato 25 Seeds

Solanum lycopersicum

Midnight Snack Tomato is a striking indeterminate cherry tomato celebrated for its dramatic colour and exceptional flavour. Each round fruit ripens from green and develops a glossy deep purple-black overlay when exposed to sunlight—thanks to its rich anthocyanin pigmentation. The result is a beautiful two-toned tomato that looks almost lacquered on the vine.

Beyond its appearance, Midnight Snack offers a sweet, well-balanced flavour with a smooth texture, making it perfect for fresh snacking, salads, charcuterie boards, and garden grazing. Vigorous plants produce generous clusters of fruit continuously throughout the season.
