Hundreds and Thousands Tomato – Incredible Harvests of Tiny Sweet Tomatoes!

Few tomato varieties live up to their name quite like Hundreds and Thousands!

This extraordinary trailing tomato is famous for producing an astonishing abundance of tiny, bright red fruits throughout the growing season. Under excellent conditions, mature plants can produce thousands of individual tomatoes, creating an impressive cascade of colourful, edible fruits.

Perfect for hanging baskets, patio containers and smaller gardens, Hundreds and Thousands combines remarkable productivity with delicious flavour and easy-growing characteristics.

🍅 Tiny Tomatoes, Huge Harvests!

Hundreds and Thousands produces masses of miniature, round tomatoes, typically measuring approximately 1–2cm in diameter.

Although much smaller than conventional cherry tomatoes, the fruits are packed with traditional tomato flavour, offering a delightful combination of sweetness and juiciness.

Plants develop numerous branching stems, each carrying clusters of tiny fruits that gradually ripen from green to brilliant red.

With suitable growing conditions, regular watering and feeding, this variety can produce exceptionally generous harvests over a prolonged period.

🧺 The Ultimate Hanging Basket Tomato

One of the greatest attractions of Hundreds and Thousands is its beautiful trailing growth habit.

Unlike tall cordon tomatoes that require staking and regular pruning, this variety naturally develops spreading, cascading stems that spill over the sides of containers.

As the season progresses, the foliage becomes decorated with hundreds of tiny red tomatoes, creating an attractive display that’s both ornamental and productive.

It’s particularly well suited to:

Hanging baskets and suspended planters
Patio pots and large containers
Balconies and small gardens
Raised beds and greenhouse containers

😋 Sweet, Juicy and Perfect for Snacking

The miniature fruits offer a wonderfully fresh, sweet tomato taste.

They’re delicious eaten straight from the plant and make attractive additions to summer salads, tomato platters and cold dishes.

Their small size also makes them useful for garnishing meals and adding bursts of flavour and colour to everyday cooking.

🌱 Easy-Growing and Low Maintenance

Hundreds and Thousands is generally grown as a trailing bush-type tomato, meaning there is no need to remove sideshoots or train plants into a single stem.

Allow the stems to spread naturally and provide plenty of room for the plant to develop its characteristic cascading habit.

Although relatively straightforward to grow, its exceptional fruit production means plants benefit from consistent watering, regular feeding and a generous volume of compost.

🌟 Why Choose Hundreds and Thousands?

Whether you’re looking for an eye-catching hanging basket display, an exceptionally productive tomato or a fun variety to grow with the family, Hundreds and Thousands is an outstanding choice.

Its combination of tiny sweet fruits, cascading growth and extraordinary cropping potential makes it one of the most entertaining and rewarding tomatoes to grow.

🌙 Growing Tip – Maximising Dark Colour

Queen of the Night develops its remarkable purple-black pigmentation through naturally occurring anthocyanins. For the darkest colouring, provide plenty of direct sunlight. Fruits shaded by leaves may develop less black pigmentation, even when fully ripe. The red, orange and golden colouring will develop as the fruit matures, creating its distinctive multicoloured appearance.
