Plant Features

Super Italian Paste tomatoes are garden workhorses, prized for their large, meaty fruits that rule Italian cooking. This heirloom variety produces bright orange-red tomatoes weighing 6 to 10 ounces, with smooth, firm skin—perfect for sauces, canning, or fresh use. The flesh is thick and dense, offering a rich, sweet tomato flavor with minimal seeds.

Why choose Super Italian Paste? From Italy, this indeterminate plant grows vigorously to 4–6 feet with support, yielding a heavy crop through the season. It’s a vigorous pick for gardeners wanting versatile tomatoes with no notable disease resistance, thriving until frost.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Super Italian Paste starter plants arrive healthy and ready to thrive in your garden. Nurtured for success, they ensure a bountiful harvest of these flavorful tomatoes.

I've gone back several times this spring for plants from GrowJoy. The Super Italian Paste is new and I had to add them to the garden. Can't wait to see how they produce! They were in excellent condition when they arrived.
