View full detailsTomato Seeds for Planting: Heirloom, Cherry, Paste, and Slicer Varieties
Few crops give a home garden as much reward per square foot as tomatoes, and starting from seed opens up a range no garden center can match. Our collection of tomato seeds spans classic slicers, sweet cherry types, sauce-ready paste tomatoes, and heirloom oddballs in every color, from deep purple to pale green stripes. Both organic and conventional options are available, and you can filter by tomato type, growth habit, and container-friendliness to find tomatoes from seed that suit your space, your climate, and your kitchen.
Tomato Seed Varieties for Slicing, Snacking, and Sauce
For big slicing tomatoes, the heirloom beefsteaks are the stars: Brandywine in its red, pink, yellow, and black strains, Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Mortgage Lifter, Pink Oxheart, and Kellogg's Breakfast all reward you with rich, complex flavor. Big Rainbow, Green Zebra, and Mr. Stripey bring striped and multicolored fruit that looks as good as it tastes. If you snack straight off the vine, cherry types like Sweetie, Matt's Wild Cherry, Black Cherry, Yellow Pear, Sugar Cherry, and Gold Nugget produce heavy clusters of small, sweet fruit. Sauce and canning fans will want San Marzano, Amish Paste, Roma, and Martino's Roma, which have dense, meaty flesh and fewer seeds. Short on space or season? Tiny Tim, Wherokowhai (Dwarf Bush), and Geranium Kiss are compact enough for pots, while 42 Day and Sub Arctic Plenty are bred to ripen quickly in shorter summers.
Growing Tomato Seed Packets into Strong Plants
Tomatoes are heat-loving, slow-starting plants, so timing matters. It’s recommended starting them indoors about six to eight weeks before your last frost, at a soil temperature of 70 to 80°F for the best germination. Most of the listings in this collection show 76 to 90 days to maturity, so a late start can push your first ripe fruit well into the season. The Seedtime garden planning software takes the math off your plate by building a planting calendar around your frost dates. Because tomato plants need room, the layout planner helps you space rows and stakes, and the garden journal is a handy place to record which varieties earned a spot next year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between determinate and indeterminate tomatoes?
+
Determinate tomatoes grow to a set height, flower and set fruit over a short window, then wind down, which makes them a good fit for canning batches or small spaces. Indeterminate tomatoes keep growing and producing until frost, usually climbing to six feet or more, and they need sturdy staking or caging. Neither is better, so pick based on whether you want one big harvest or a steady supply, and how much support you can offer.
Can I save seeds from my tomatoes and grow the same variety next year?
+
Yes, if you grow open-pollinated or heirloom varieties, which grow true to type from saved seed. Hybrids won't, so check the listing before you save. Scoop the seeds and gel from a fully ripe fruit, let them ferment in a jar of water for a few days to break down the gel coating, then rinse, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a cool, dry place. Tomatoes mostly self-pollinate, so saved seed usually stays pure, but planting different varieties several feet apart makes it more reliable.
Why are my tomato seedlings tall and floppy?
+
Leggy seedlings almost always mean they aren't getting enough light. A windowsill often isn't enough, so a grow light kept just a few inches above the plants and left on for a good portion of the day keeps them short and sturdy. Too much heat after germination can also cause stretching. If seedlings do get leggy, bury more of the stem when you transplant, since tomatoes will root along the buried portion.
