Grow Your Own Sun-Dried Tomatoes with Principe Borghese Tomato Seeds

Bring the authentic taste of Italy to your garden with Principe Borghese Tomato Seeds. These heirloom, non-GMO seeds produce small, meaty plum-shaped tomatoes with a rich, savory flavor. They are perfect for sun drying, sauces, and fresh eating. A favorite in Italian kitchens, these tomatoes are known for their low juice content and exceptional taste.

Why Choose Principe Borghese Tomato Seeds?

Authentic Italian Heirloom: Originating from Italy, these tomatoes are prized for their use in sun-dried tomatoes, offering a slightly savory flavor that enhances sauces, salads, and snacks.

Prolific & Easy to Grow: Semi-determinate plants reach 4-5’ tall and produce clusters of 7-10 fruits each, weighing about 1-2 oz. They bear a heavy initial crop and continue producing until frost.

Versatile in the Kitchen: Enjoy them fresh in salads, oven-roasted with herbs, or dried for intense flavor. Their meaty texture and minimal seeds make them ideal for preserving.

Growing Tips for Success

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting. Sow 1/4" deep in moist seedling mix, keeping warm with bright light. Germination typically occurs in 7-10 days. Stake or cage plants for support as they grow.

Each packet contains 10 seeds, ensuring a bountiful harvest. Ready to harvest in just 75 days!
