Description
200 mg Rich in history and filled with flavor, this blend of red and yellow Brandywine tomatoes provides a bountiful harvest that’s legendary. Brandywines aren’t the prettiest tomatoes (shape can vary from round to oblong, often ribbed), but these Beefsteak-type fruits are extra large (12-16 ounces or more, sometimes up to 2 lbs.) and have outstanding flavor that has made them a favorite of tomato lovers for more than 100 years. The yellow Brandywine ripens to golden yellow and has a potato leaf type. It is meaty with a slightly tart flavor. The red Brandywine has scarlet-red fruits and classic tomato leaves. It has a rich yet well-balanced tomato flavor. Both varieties take around 80 days to begin maturing. An indeterminate type, the Brandywine vines will grow until fall frost and must be staked or caged. Like most heirlooms, Brandywine has not been bred for disease resistance, though it definitely has a strong disposition to be so well loved for so long. It may require a little more pampering and attention than more modern hybrids, but its outstanding flavor is well worth the effort. This packet plants: 20 plants.

This will be my first attempt in trying to grow Chinese Lanterns. The plants I received were good sized, healthy appearing and packaged securely. I have them in my windowsill for now and will later place in an outdoor planter when our weather warms up. Received promptly. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

I had a get experience buying from Hirt’s. My items shipped quickly, were package great and everything looks wonderful. They even included a heat pack, even though I hadn’t asked for one.

I received 2 plants as ordered from Hirts in beautiful shape. They appeared to be very healthy – well worth the 23.48 for two. I also received another eucalyptus ordered through Etsy but from a different garden. I ordered only one as it was higher in price. The total with shipping for one plant was 45.64. One branch was broken and the color was not as blue. I’ll stick with Hirts in the future.
Thank you so much.

Plant roots were delivered fast. Extra roots were given which is nice. They were all in great condition. Now I am waiting for their sprouting. Cross my fingers.
