Why Choose Rio Grande Tomato Seeds?

High-Yielding & Resilient: Thriving in extreme temperatures, these determinate plants grow 4'-6' tall and yield 4-ounce tomatoes in just 75 days. Their disease-resistant nature makes them a top pick for beginner gardeners.

Versatile & Flavorful: Whether you're crafting BBQ sauces, ketchup, or enjoying them fresh in salads, Rio Grande tomatoes deliver dense, seedless flesh perfect for reducing cooking time.

Key Features

  • Hot-Climate Champion: Withstands heat and cold extremes.
  • Nutrient-Rich: Packed with lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium.

Planting Tips for Success

Start Rio Grande Tomato Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant 1/2" deep in warm soil (70-85°F) for germination in 5-10 days. Transplant seedlings 24" apart in sun-rich soil after hardening off. Mulch to retain moisture and fertilize with low-nitrogen feed.

Pro Tip: Use stakes for support and soak soil deeply to encourage robust roots.

From Garden to Table

Transform your harvest into sun-dried tomatoes, rich pasta sauces, or enjoy them fresh—their balanced sweetness and tang elevate every dish. Plus, reap the health benefits of antioxidants and vitamins with every bite!

Rio Grande is Grand

I live in grow zone 5B and the Rio Grande out preformed the other Roma varieties that I had. It is sweet, delicious and it doesn't have a hard core that other tomatoes have. Will be planting again. Seeds had a good germination rate. Very Happy with Sandia Seed Company's seeds and their service.

Wonderful

I am in 7A and these tomatoes were much more successful than romas. These plants are still producing and we've had triple digit heat. I like these a lot.

Experimenting in Florida summer heat

We've grown these tomatoes during the regular gardening season here in Florida - they are, indeed, prolific and tasty. I just planted new seed (May 2) as an experiment to see if we can get these to set fruit in the miserable heat of a Florida summer. I have them facing east so they will get the full sun of morning and shade from the house for most of the afternoon. Fingers crossed that this will work - will let you know.

Wonderful Romas

I've been ordering growing this variety of Roma for almost ten years. Almost always 100% germination. Start seeds on Valentines Day. Plant outside around Mother's Day weekend here in the NW. The plants are very sturdy when supported properly and produce huge meaty fruit. Rarely have problems with blight or blossom rot like on the smaller Romas. Six plants give us all the tomatoes we need for canning and freezer sauces for the year. Great on salads, in home made salsa or added to guacamole. The neighbors love the extras.
