Their ripe fruits typically develop beautiful shades of ivory, cream, or very pale yellow. Tomato color is created by the combination of pigments accumulating in the fruit and the underlying color of its tissues. White-fruited varieties develop far less of the intense red pigmentation associated with conventional red tomatoes. The result is one of the most unusual colors in the tomato garden. Growing Information Sun: Full sun — 6–8+ hours daily Soil: Rich, fertile, well-drained soil Planting Depth: Sow seeds approximately ¼ inch deep Spacing: Approximately 24–36 inches apart Germination: Approximately 5–10 days in warm conditions Water: Water deeply and consistently; avoid repeated cycles of extreme drying and soaking Harvest: Pick when fruits have developed their mature creamy ivory-to-pale-yellow color and are slightly soft to the touch Life Cycle: Warm-season annual Growing Tip Start tomato seeds indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before your last spring frost. Transplant outside only after frost danger has passed and temperatures have warmed. When transplanting, bury part of the tomato’s stem beneath the soil. Tomatoes can form adventitious roots along buried portions of their stems, helping establish a larger root system. Provide a sturdy cage, trellis, or other support as the plant grows.
