Quick Summary of Tatiana (Tatyana)
- 🌍 Origin & The Name Confusion: If you are looking for seeds of the “Tatiana” tomato, be aware that there are two completely different varieties circulating under this exact name. This forum thread highlights both!
- 🍅 Variant 1: The Commercial “SeDeK” Tatiana: An early-season, determinate (bush) variety. It grows very compact, usually 50-60 cm (20-24 inches) tall. It produces smooth, round, bright red tomatoes weighing up to 250g (9 oz). It is praised for its high yield, excellent resistance to late blight, and beautiful uniform fruits. Taste reviews are mixed, heavily depending on the amount of sun it gets.
- 💖 Variant 2: The Ukrainian Heirloom Tatiana: A massive, indeterminate (tall) mid-early variety. It produces giant pink oxheart-shaped fruits weighing up to 500g (1.1 lbs) with no green shoulders. Growers highly praise this variant for its outstanding sweet flavor and heavy trusses (5-8 huge fruits per cluster).
- 🔍 Tanya vs. Tatiana: Note that “Tanya” is a different variety entirely (often a commercial F1 hybrid), not to be confused with either of the Tatianas discussed here.
“Early ripening (93-102 days) variety. The bush is a compact, tree-type (rugose) plant, 50-60 cm tall. Does not require pruning (suckering). Fruits are red, round, very tasty, weighing up to 250g, and possess increased resistance to late blight (phytophthora). Variety value: earliness, large fruit size for a bush, high yield, excellent taste qualities. Universal use.”

Mostly, the characteristics matched the description. Compactness – yes, earliness – yes, late blight resistance – yes, high yield – yes. The taste in 2014, however, was a total disaster 😲. Probably didn’t get enough sun. It grew outdoors in open ground.
Girls, which seed company is this variety from?
Mine was from “SeDeK” 😳.
Yes, it’s the SeDeK one, I planted it once. A long time ago, back when I was trying many, many short dwarf varieties, trying to find the earliest and most edible one. I didn’t like Tatiana.
And I planted the SeDeK one too, of course. Everything matched, except for the height; in the greenhouse, it was over a meter (3.3 ft) tall. I liked the taste, a regular, good tomato flavor. Very beautiful tomatoes, large, very bright, shiny, and very uniform. This season I will plant another one from Hupta seeds — a gift from forum friends. 🌹
(Note: Describing a different variety with the same name)
My seeds were from Nadya from Ukraine. I loved them for their taste and yield. Indeterminate, tall, mid-early variety that will delight you with its harvest and excellent tomato quality. The fruits are heart-shaped (oxhearts), pink in color, without a green shoulder near the stem. It forms great trusses of 5-8 pink tomatoes, weighing up to 500g (1.1 lbs).
Could you tell me, are the varieties “Tanya” and “Tatiana” different?
…I already found the answer… they are different…
