Organic Sunrise Bumble Bee Tomato Seeds - Solanum lycopersicum

Organic Non-GMO Open Pollinated Sunrise Bumble Bee Tomato Seeds

The Bumble Bee tomato boasts as much a visual treat as it does a culinary delight! With colors ranging from ruby to red with mandarin orange stripes, this organic cherry tomato offers a truly unique signature all its own.

With an explosion of flavor beginning with sweet top notes and tangy undertones, Sunrise Bumble Bee tomato is a standout heirloom-style variety gardeners won’t soon forget. These small, striped cherry tomatoes are perfect for fresh eating, adding vibrant color and flavor to salads, or enjoying straight off the vine.

Bred to be crack-resistant, this vigorous tomato produces high yields over a long growing season, thriving in both cooler evenings and hot summer days. The signature marbling becomes more pronounced as the season progresses, with early harvests showing subtler striping.

Perfect enjoyed fresh in salads, on the side, in salsa, or slowly cooked into a rich, flavorful sauce. The flavor profile evolves throughout the ripening stages, and we recommend tasting at different phases—even the green stage—to experience its full complexity.

Well-suited for container gardening, raised beds, and small garden spaces, Sunrise Bumble Bee is an excellent choice for home gardeners seeking a productive, visually striking, and flavorful organic tomato variety.

Gardener Tips

Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome with a heated mat for 4-8 weeks. 

It is key that your new starts be hardened off.  This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure. 

• Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day

• One week minimum is recommended

• Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight

• Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over. 

Do not plant seeds too early. They may become leggy and/or root bound. If necessary, use row cover to protect your seedlings/plants from cold weather. Use stakes or cages for support.
