Blue Sun is a standout with glowing mandarin orange fruit topped with inky blue to purple shoulders where the sun hits, giving every harvest a jewel-toned look in the garden and on the plate. Indeterminate, regular leaf plants are vigorous and prolific, typically reaching maturity in about 75 to 85 days from transplant and producing smooth, oblate tomatoes around 5 to 7 ounces. The flavor is juicy and pleasantly sweet yet balanced, with a mild richness and a lingering finish that makes it easy to keep slicing. Grow it in full sun for the deepest shoulder color and enjoy it fresh, in bright summer salsa, or simply sprinkled with salt for a showy, flavor-packed tomato moment.
