Bring artisanal flavor and rugged garden reliability to your harvest with Tempting Tomatoes® Rugby Oxheart Tomato! Bred specifically to eliminate the sprawling, unruly habit common to classic oxheart varieties, this high-performing indeterminate tomato delivers massive, heart-shaped pink fruits on a manageable, easily trellised vine. Tempting Tomatoes® Rugby sets substantial 200–220 gram (7–8 oz) fruits shaped like classic rugby balls or stylized hearts. The eye-catching crop starts out bright lime green before ripening into a rich, zesty pink with uniform coloration, completely free of hard yellow shoulders. Inside, the flesh is exceptionally firm, meaty, and tender with few seed cavities, offering a deep, well-balanced tomato taste that resists cracking on the vine.
