Broody Hen Dwarf Tomato Seeds

10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Klusha (Broody Hen)

Also known as Klusha (Клуша), meaning “Broody Hen” in Russian, this charming heirloom earns its name from the way it tucks its fruit protectively beneath its leaves—like a hen sitting on her eggs. Compact and early, Klusha is a northern-hardy dwarf variety that thrives in cooler or shorter seasons, yet performs beautifully in warm climates as well.

The two-foot-tall plants are sturdy, decorative, and perfect for containers, patios, or front steps. They produce a surprisingly heavy crop of medium red tomatoes, ranging from large cocktail to small beefsteak size. The flavor is classic and satisfying—sweet, balanced, and full-bodied. Even the short branches often need staking from the sheer weight of the harvest.

A reliable favorite year after year, Klusha proves that big rewards can come from small, beautiful plants. Ideal for balcony growers, small gardens, or anyone who loves a tidy tomato that overachieves.
