📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): Blazhenstvo (Bliss)

🌍 Origin: A stunning modern variety introduced by Russian breeder and collector Sofia Saakova. The name translates beautifully to “Bliss”.
🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall). It has proven to be quite resistant to Leaf Mold (Cladosporium), staying healthy late into the season. Note: It is a late-season variety in cooler climates, so start your seeds early.
🍅 Fruit Characteristics: An absolutely gorgeous anthocyanin (purple/black splashed) tricolor beefsteak. The fruits are large and heavy, reaching up to 1.1 lbs (500g). Despite being a large heirloom, it has surprisingly good shelf life.
👅 Flavor & Texture: Living up to its name, the flavor is incredible. It is very sweet with a perfectly balanced touch of tanginess and distinct fruity notes. The flesh is dense and meaty.
⏳ Yield: High-yielding.

A variety from Sofia (Sofia27 / Sofia Saakova). A very delicious tomato! Sweet with just a slight tang. Productive and beautiful. It keeps pretty well on the counter. Relatively resistant to leaf mold (Cladosporium); my plant only just now caught it at the very end of the season. The only downside is that it is a late-season variety for our shorter northern summers. But it’s still staying on my permanent grow list!
