The plants produce fruit in clusters and yield quite abundantly until autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe striped, dark fruits make this variety look great in the garden and on the plate. Its flavor is every bit as good as that of classic cherry tomatoes – sweet and juicy. It’s a great choice for anyone looking to add variety to the colors of their harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (March–April, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow the seeds from mid-March to early April, around 6–8 weeks before the planned planting date, at a depth of approx. 0.5–1 cm. Keep the growing medium slightly moist and the temperature steady at 20–25°C (ideally around 24°C). Germination takes 7–10 days. Once they emerge, seedlings need as much light as possible – a south-facing windowsill or supplemental lighting works well; otherwise, the plants will quickly become leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e When the seedlings have 2–4 true leaves, transplant them individually into pots 8–10 cm in diameter, planting them slightly deeper than before. Keep the seedlings in a bright spot at 15–20°C and water moderately but regularly. Start hardening them off 7–10 days before planting out by placing them outdoors for a few hours each day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePlanting out (May):\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant seedlings in a greenhouse or unheated polytunnel from early May, and outdoors after May 15–20, once the risk of frost has passed. Space plants approx. 50 cm apart within rows and 100 cm between rows. Bury the stem noticeably deeper than it was in the pot – the tomato will develop additional roots along it. Insert a stake or attach a support string straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Train plants to one or two stems and regularly remove side shoots (so-called suckers) growing in the leaf axils – this directs the plant’s energy into the fruit rather than excess foliage. Water at the base of the plant without wetting the leaves, as tomatoes are susceptible to late blight. Remove the lower leaves so they do not touch the soil, and use mulch to retain moisture and prevent soil from splashing onto the leaves. Tomatoes like soil rich in organic matter and potassium, so they respond well to compost and organic fertilizers for fruiting vegetables. Harvest the fruit when the lower part turns dark purple-brown and the tomato feels slightly soft under your fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurple Bumble Bee tastes best \u003cstrong\u003efresh\u003c\/strong\u003e, straight from the vine.

Some seeds are propagated in its own fields, while others are grown in collaboration with organic growers in Belgium and France. All batches are certified organic (inspection code BE-BIO-01).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
