Quick Summary of Dwarf Antho Pink Panther
- 🌍 Origin: A stunning anthocyanin dwarf variety. In the Russian community, it is known as “Rozovaya Pantera Anto, Gnom”.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Mid-season dwarf. Unlike most typical sturdy/stocky Dwarf Tomato Project varieties, this one has thin, graceful, wispy foliage. It grows up to 1 meter (about 3.3 ft) tall. Growers strongly recommend not pruning or removing suckers for the best yield.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Beautiful bottle-shaped “icicles” (elongated plums). They are pink with heavy dark anthocyanin stripes. If grown in direct, bright sunlight, the fruits can turn almost completely deep blue/black. They are small, weighing 30-40 grams (1 – 1.4 oz) with tiny cherry-like seeds.
- 👅 Flavor: Very tasty and exceptionally sweet!
- ⚠️ Grower Notes & Challenges: While visually striking, some growers report that the fruits can drop from the truss easily if brushed against, and the plant may be highly susceptible to spider mites in greenhouse conditions.
Dwarf Antho Pink Panther.
A mid-season variety. The bush and leaves are thin and graceful, not like other stocky varieties from the Dwarf Project. It grows up to a meter (~3.3 ft) tall, and it is better not to prune (remove suckers).
The fruits are beautiful bottle-shaped “icicles”, pink with anthocyanin stripes. Under bright sunlight, they become completely blue. Weight is 30-40 g (1 – 1.4 oz). Very tasty, sweet! The seeds are small, just like in cherry tomatoes.

Grew it in 2021 in a greenhouse. Spider mites absolutely love this variety; they feasted on it mercilessly. I treated and treated it with pesticides, but to no avail.
The fruits hold onto the truss very weakly — if you just brush against them, they fall off, even when unripe. In short, it’s a hassle, not a variety. The color is interesting, the taste is decent, but I feel sorry wasting greenhouse space on it.

Could you please tell me, did you grow it in a greenhouse or outdoors in open ground (OG)?
