Tomato Black Centiflor
A unique heirloom variety known for their deep, dark coloration and highly productive clusters of small, cherry-sized fruits. The "centiflor" name, meaning "hundred flowers," refers to the plant’s incredible ability to produce large clusters of blossoms, which eventually turn into dozens of tomatoes on each truss. Colours range  from deep purples to near-black hues, thanks to their high anthocyanin content—an antioxidant that gives them their signature dark pigmentation.
With a  rich, complex taste that blends sweetness with subtle smoky and earthy undertones. This makes them a great choice for both fresh eating and cooking. Their small size and deep flavor are perfect for snacking, adding to salads, or even roasting for a more concentrated flavor.These tomatoes are also known for their vigorous growth and high yield, making them a favorite among gardeners looking for abundant harvests. The plants tend to grow tall and sprawling, so they may require staking or support to handle the weight of their heavy fruit clusters.
