If bold color and rich flavor are your jam, say hello to Kip’s Stripes—a dazzling dwarf tomato with a flair for the dramatic. This variety produces medium-sized, slightly flattened slicers that wear vivid stripes of red, orange, and yellow, like they were painted by hand. Every fruit is a one-of-a-kind stunner, and the flavor? Bright, sweet, and just a little tangy—perfect for slicing thick and stacking high.
Kip’s Stripes grows on sturdy, compact plants just 3–4 feet tall, making it an easy pick for container gardens or raised beds. It’s part of the Dwarf Tomato Project and brings all the color and complexity of an heirloom, but in a more space-friendly package.
