Discover one of the most distinctive heirlooms with Black Krim Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Originating from the Crimean Peninsula, this indeterminate variety produces large beefsteak-style tomatoes with striking dark purple to brown coloration. Known for its full-bodied, complex flavor with subtle smoky and salty notes, Black Krim is a favorite of chefs and home gardeners seeking exceptional taste and beautiful presentation.
Deep Color, Bold Flavor, and Summer Reliability:
Black Krim tomatoes develop rich, dark tones as they ripen, often accented with green shoulders that deepen in the heat. The juicy, meaty interior offers a savory, almost briny character that sets it apart from typical red tomatoes. Whether sliced thick for summer sandwiches or showcased in fresh dishes, these tomatoes deliver standout flavor every time.
Why Customers Love Black Krim Tomatoes:
- Large dark-pink to purple-brown beefsteak fruits
- Complex, rich flavor with subtle smoky and salty notes
- Indeterminate vines that produce throughout the season
- Striking coloration ideal for fresh slicing and culinary presentation
- A beloved heirloom valued for reliability and exceptional taste
How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your final frost date. Transplant into full sun once temperatures are consistently warm, providing sturdy support for the vigorous indeterminate vines. Grow in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil and water deeply to maintain steady moisture, which helps prevent cracking and supports flavor development. Black Krim performs well in warm climates and appreciates consistent care.
Harvest & Use:
Harvest when fruits reach their deep purple-brown tone and feel slightly soft when gently pressed. Black Krim shines when sliced fresh, added to salads, or used in simple preparations that highlight its bold flavor. Its meaty texture also pairs well with grilled dishes and summer recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically.
