Dwarf, Regular leaf, heart shaped fruit between 6oz and 10oz. Purple with metallic green stripes. Regular leaf plants of 'Dwarf Purple Heartthrob' are prolific. Its fruit are four to ten ounces each, strongly heart-shaped, and purple in colour with nearly metallic looking green stripes. The interior is a rich burgundy crimson with a well balanced, very classically tomato-ey and delicious flavour. The first named release from the promising and colourful Hearty family, the primary development work was carried out by Vince Lavalle, Bill Yoder and Craig LeHoullier (and named by Bill and Craig). Breeding contributors are Dan Follett, Ted Maiden, Mickey Pasco-Powell, Susan Oliverson, Heide Dolan, John Cook, and Bill Minkey. Minimum 20 seeds 2021 Growers footnote - The flavour profile of this tomato is exceptional, intense and complex. It is right up there with some of the best tomatoes we have ever tasted. Unlike some heart shaped varieties Purple Heart Throb is not mealy but juicy. This goes straight into our top ten ever tasted!
