Introduced to American gardeners in the 1950s, the Thessaloniki has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable and rewarding tomatoes you can grow.
Why Gardeners Love Thessaloniki: This robust, indeterminate variety produces uniform, baseball-sized fruits weighing 4-6 oz with gorgeous red color and a perfectly balanced sweet-savory flavor. What sets Thessaloniki apart is its remarkable resilience—naturally resistant to gray leaf spot, sunburn, and cracking, it thrives even when conditions aren’t perfect. Heat waves? Dry spells? This Mediterranean beauty handles them with ease.
Perfect for Every Garden: Whether you’re working with traditional garden plots, raised beds, or greenhouses, Thessaloniki adapts beautifully. As an open-pollinated heirloom, you can save seeds year after year, making it an economical choice for sustainable gardeners. Expect your first harvest 66-80 days from transplant.
In the Kitchen: The meaty, juicy texture makes these tomatoes incredibly versatile. Slice them thick for sandwiches, dice them fresh for Greek salads, or cook them down into rich, concentrated sauces. Their firm flesh holds up beautifully whether fresh or cooked, and that authentic Mediterranean flavor truly shines in every application.
Growing Specs: Non-GMO, warm season annual, open-pollinated heirloom, indeterminate growth habit, heat and drought tolerant, suitable for zones 3-14.
Transform your summer harvest with seeds that have delighted gardeners for generations.
