Variety characteristics:

• 456 Dwarf Striped Antho is a striking midseason tomato producing round to slightly oblate fruits weighing approximately 2.8 to 5.3 oz. The tomatoes ripen to deep red and orange red with glowing golden-red striping, while sun-exposed shoulders develop dramatic indigo, blue-purple, and nearly black anthocyanin pigmentation. Juicy red flesh delivers a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity, complemented by fruity flavor and subtle earthy depth. Compact, regular-leaf dwarf plants may reach approximately 4.9 feet in this seed lot and continue producing from midseason until frost. Provide sturdy staking or caging to support the productive branches. Excellent for fresh slicing, salads, salsa, roasting, canning, garnishes, and colorful tomato platters.
