Plant Features

Heinz tomatoes are garden workhorses, renowned for their meaty, uniform fruits that excel in processing and cooking. This open-pollinated variety yields bright red tomatoes typically weighing 4 to 6 ounces, with thick, firm skin—perfect for sauces, ketchup, canning, or fresh use. The flesh is dense and juicy, delivering a rich, tangy tomato flavor tailored for robust culinary applications.

Why grow Heinz? Developed by the H.J. Heinz Company in the mid-20th century, this determinate plant produces a concentrated crop in a short window, ideal for gardeners aiming for a big harvest all at once. Its disease resistance, including Fusarium and Verticillium Wilt, makes it a reliable choice for consistent yields in a compact form.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Heinz starter plants arrive healthy and ready to perform in your garden. Nurtured with care, they ensure a steady harvest of these practical, flavorful tomatoes bred for the kitchen.

Soil Setup	Use loose, well-draining soil, pH 6.0–6.8, with compost or manure (fall prep ideal)
Watering Tips	Soak in-ground plants deeply 1–2 times weekly (unless rain suffices), keep leaves dry if evening; keep containers moist, up to twice daily in heat
Feeding Your Plants	Apply a balanced fertilizer or our recommended Espoma Tomato-tone at planting and every 3 weeks thereafter
Shaping & Support	Prune suckers (side shoots between stem and branches) if desired—it’s optional. Support plants with stakes or cages

Excellent

Plants arrived professionally packed and in perfect condition. The plants are large and very healthy and are now thriving in my garden. This is a company that provides an excellent product in a timely manor which is not easy to do with live produce. I would absolutely order from GrowJoy again!!
