Description

The Dainty family originated from a cross made by Patrina Nuske Small between two of our Dwarf Project released varieties, Summertime Gold (from the Sneezy family) and Sleeping Lady (from the Grumpy family). Dwarf Maura’s Cardinal was selected and named by Susan Oliverson. The potato leaf dwarf plants produce lots of medium sized (4-8 oz) red round tomatoes with a well balanced, delicious flavor. It is considered a midseason variety. Along with key contributor Susan Oliverson, Craig LeHoullier also participated in the development of the variety, and Bill Minkey grew out the final selection.
