Mimosa is a bright orange grape tomato that brings fruity sweetness to the garden in just 60 days from transplant. This F1 hybrid grows as an indeterminate vine, producing clusters of small, jewel-like fruits throughout the season in zones 3 through 11. If you love snacking tomatoes with genuine flavor depth, Mimosa delivers both speed and substance.

The fruity character sets Mimosa apart from standard grape tomatoes; this isn't just a tiny sweet tomato, but one bred specifically for flavor intensity. At 60 days to harvest, it arrives quickly enough for short-season gardeners while the indeterminate habit means the plant keeps producing through fall. Its resistance to Fusarium Wilt, Gray Leaf Spot, and Late Blight gives you real protection against the diseases that derail tomato crops.
Mimosa excels as a fresh eating tomato, ideal for popping straight off the vine as a snack or tossing whole into salads where its small size and fruity flavor shine. The grape tomato form also works beautifully roasted in clusters, where the natural sugars concentrate and caramelize.

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed trays 5 to 6 weeks before your transplant date, keeping the soil at 75 to 85°F with moderate moisture. Seeds typically germinate in 5 to 7 days. Once the first true leaf appears, pot up seedlings to 4-inch pots or 50-cell trays. Grow transplants at a constant 60 to 70°F with complete fertilizer and avoid starting too early, as leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can stunt early production.
Transplant Mimosa after the risk of frost has passed, hardening off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. Space plants 24 inches apart with 48 inches between rows. Ensure soil temperature is warm enough to support vigorous growth.
Pick Mimosa tomatoes when they reach full orange color and feel slightly soft to gentle pressure. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production throughout the season. For longer storage, pick tomatoes at the breaker stage (when the first blush of color appears) rather than fully ripe.
As an indeterminate vine, Mimosa will grow continuously and benefit from trellising support. Consider basket-weave training by driving 5 to 6-foot stakes every 2 to 3 plants, using heavier posts intermittently along the row. Once the plant outgrows a manageable height for harvesting, prune the top to keep it within reach and direct energy toward fruit ripening rather than endless vine growth.
