Tomato, Dwarf Confetti (Organic)
Solanum lycopersicum. Yellow with Pink Stripes. 70 days. Dwarf Indet.
This tomato really knows how to party, and not just because of the name. Dwarf Confetti’s striped skin is a festive addition to any garden or food dish, and the sweet flavor has a pizzaz that many older dwarf tomato varieties lack. Slightly flattened 6-8 oz globe fruit have yellow/pink bicolored flesh. High yielding plants benefit from a short cage or staking so they don’t fall over. With over 100 tomatoes already in our catalog, it’s rare that one gets instant approval from the whole Adaptive Seeds team, and Dwarf Confetti did just that. Released in 2018 by the Dwarf Tomato Project as an Open Source Seed Initiative pledged variety.
Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots once they have two true leaves. Transplant into the garden once danger of frost has passed.
Seed Saving
Collect seeds from ripe fruit by squeezing into a jar and add 25% more water. Wait a few days for mold to form. When seeds sink and gel-sac is gone, stir, add water, then decant and rinse to clean. Dry thoroughly. Tomatoes are mostly self-pollinating; isolation is not usually needed for seeds to be true to type.

I have ordered from just about every seed company in the PNW. Last year was a disaster (i think it was the new soil we bought). This is my first year with Adaptive seeds. I seeded 6 tomato plant rows close because I didn’t think that I would be seeing anything coming up! Wow, I was so wrong! I have rows of seedlings coming up and the most aggressive one is the dwarf confetti! I know it is too early to leave a review but, I am so excited about summer.
I will definitely update in the Fall! Thank you Adaptive for your commitment! You are amazing!

I neglected the starts I grew with my 2020 seeds, but was successful in 2021 with that same lot. Very good germination. There is a tendency for the leaves to yellow early on but this doesn’t seem to be a disease or impact the plant, I suspect. I ended up with two plants in different parts of the garden. Our terrible heat wave in Seattle brought on sun scalding on one plant and the one unaffected early fruit was stolen by what I presume was a racoon. The other plant is quite happy in a newly built raised bed. Moderately productive, possibly not more so due to the early, intense heat wave. Fruits are gorgeous and tasty, with a little zip mixed in with a moderate but not overwhelming sweetness. My fruits are averaging only 2-3 ounces. A little disappointing on the size and productivity front but too pretty and tasty to not try again.
