taken from the Johnny Seeds website:

Darkest tomato bred so far, exceptionally high in anthocyanins.

Anthocyanins are powerful anti-oxidants. In the early stages of fruit development, Indigo Rose develops a dark purple pigment in its skin where exposed to direct sunlight. Green when unripe, purple-red when ripe, the 1-2 oz., cocktail-sized tomatoes have good flavor with 'plummy' overtones. Developed by Jim Myers at Oregon State University using traditional plant breeding techniques. Moderately vigorous. Compact indeterminate. Organically grown.

75-80 days from what I've read. I stumbled onto these when I was looking for a totally different variety. Seller on Ebay had seeds listed and my curiousity got the better part of me so I followed up on them.

Jared,

That's one really dark tomato there. It does look interesting though and plummy tones, might have interesting taste.

I know thats why I was curious. I read the reviews and the flesh isn't as red as the skin so it may not have the omph in the flavor dept. Regardless I thought they were interesting and figured Id share the info I found.
