The Sweetheart cherry tomato is a generous companion that rewards patient gardeners. Its vigorous, indeterminate growth habit grows steadily, bearing long clusters of heart-shaped fruit that ripen throughout the season. Each vine can produce up to 45 cm of sweet promise!

Selected by Will Bonsall, author and passionate advocate for vegetable biodiversity in Maine, this variety naturally fits into a respectful cultivation approach rooted in the tradition of living gardens. In the vegetable garden or greenhouse, it provides a reliable and prolific presence, provided it is given a sturdy support, welcoming soil, and a little warmth.

Its remarkable resistance to cracking allows the fruit to fully ripen on the vine, for optimal taste and a well-spread harvest.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Easy
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Note: As the tomato is a heat-loving plant, it needs well-warmed soil and to be protected from cold and frost.

Crisp, juicy, sweet… the Sweetheart lives up to its promises! Its small, heart-shaped fruits are perfect for summer salads, spontaneous garden snacks, or homemade preserves. Their mild flavor and firm texture make them a favorite with children and discerning palates alike.

Thanks to their excellent shelf life, the fruits can be harvested as needed, to suit outdoor meals and colorful kitchen baskets. It's a reliable variety that combines flavor, beauty, and hardiness – a true love affair between gardener and garden.
