Dark, dashing, and downright delicious—Velvet Knight rides in with regal color and bold flavor. This dwarf variety produces clusters of deep purple-to-black, globe-shaped fruits with a subtle shimmer that gives them their velvety name. Beneath that dark exterior lies juicy, richly flavored flesh with sweet, balanced acidity that shines in fresh salads or straight off the vine.
Compact and sturdy, Velvet Knight plants reach about 3–4 feet tall and thrive in containers, raised beds, or small gardens. Another stellar release from the Dwarf Tomato Project, this knight keeps things neat and noble while delivering a royal harvest.
