Variety characteristics:

• 426 Queen of the Night is a dramatic German anthocyanin tomato producing round to slightly oblate fruits weighing approximately 1.4 to 4.2 oz. The tomatoes mature to rich red and glowing red orange, decorated with fine golden-red striping, while sun-exposed shoulders develop an intense indigo-purple to nearly black finish. Greater sunlight produces deeper blue-black pigmentation, creating striking contrasts across each fruit. Juicy, firm flesh delivers concentrated classic tomato flavor, pleasant fruitiness, and a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity. Productive indeterminate plants grow approximately 4.9 to 5.7 feet tall and provide an early, abundant harvest for a blue-fruited variety. Excellent for fresh snacking, salads, sandwiches, salsa, roasting, garnishes, and colorful tomato platters.
