Rouge De Marmande is a classic French tomato producing large, flattened, bright red fruits with pronounced ribbing. The fleshy, juicy tomatoes have a rich, full flavour and are particularly prized for fresh eating, salads, slicing and cooking.
Introduced in 1925, this old-fashioned variety takes its name from Marmande in south-western France, an area renowned for tomato production. Its distinctive ribbed fruits and excellent flavour have made it an enduring favourite with both home gardeners and cooks.
Rouge De Marmande matures relatively early and is well suited to temperate climates. Plants are vigorous, productive and noted for good disease resistance. Although vigorous in growth, the vines are best staked or trellised to support the large developing fruits.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
