Tomato 'True Colours'

Product Information

A living work of art for the summer garden, Tomato ‘True Colours’ produces spectacular oxheart fruits marbled with shades of gold, green, pink and purple. Slice one open and each fruit reveals a unique kaleidoscope of colours, making it as beautiful on the plate as it is in the garden. Developed by renowned Canadian breeder Karen Olivier, this exceptional tomato combines stunning visual appeal with rich, complex flavour.

The large, meaty fruits typically weigh 250–450g and offer a balanced flavour profile that blends sweetness, richness and gentle acidity. With dense flesh and few seeds, ‘True Colours’ is perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches and showcasing in colourful summer dishes.

An indeterminate variety, it rewards gardeners with a long harvest season and impressive yields.

Sow seed 6-8 weeks before you want to plant out your tomatoes. Never plant tomatoes in the same bed two years running as you risk infection from a build up of pests and diseases. Tomatoes need an open, sunny position, with plenty of air circulation to thrive. Tomatoes are best in a bed which has been heavily manured for a previous crop such as broccoli. A soil that is too rich in nutrients will produce prolific, but soft, sappy growth which is prone to disease. Long, leggy tomato seedlings can be planted very deeply or even on their sides, as the stem is able to grow roots when covered with soil, and a large, healthy root system will develop.
