About Speckled Roman

Speckled Roman is a beautiful paste tomato with red and yellow stripes and exceptional sweet, rich flavor. Unlike most paste tomatoes, it's flavorful enough to eat fresh while still making outstanding sauce. It was developed by John Swenson by crossing Antique Roman and Banana Legs.

Growing Tips

Indeterminate paste variety — needs staking. Long season but worth the wait for its dual-purpose quality. Very productive once established.
