Karma Miracle is one of my all-time favourite tomatoes. It's flavour is incredible- it has the rich, balanced flavour of an heirloom beefsteak, but is incredibly sweet. The colour is an interesting red/brown/green/purple. Fruit shapes vary from round cherries to lobed, cocktail size. They've tied with Sungold two years in a row in blind taste tests! They are potato leaf, and have exserted stigmas. Bred by Karen Olivier in Alberta.

Karma Miracle is a great candidate for short seasons and gardens that aren't very warm. They also do well in heat, however. They both produce tons of tomatoes! This variety is a must-grow for me every year. The fruits are prone to cracking, so harvest when they start to turn colour and ripen indoors if you have this problem. Water consistently to help avoid this, and/or grow undercover. I promise they are worth it!

Growing Instructions

Start indoors 6-8 weeks before planting out date. In southwestern BC, I plant mid-March for planting out mid-May. Seeds from bottom heat when germinating. Grow in full sun. Stake plants with a tomato cage, trellis, or wires. Plants do best with minimal pruning. Fruits are ripe when they are slightly soft to the touch and colours have fully developed. Can pick slightly early and allow fruit to ripen indoors if they are prone to cracking.

Shipping & Returns

We ship seeds via Canada Post within Canada for $6 to $8 depending on weight, United States for $20, and Internationally for $20*. Live plants, bulbs, and bulbils can only be shipped within Canada.

 

Shipping in Canada 

We ship seeds in Canada via regular letter mail, which is an untracked service, and usually takes 1-3 weeks to arrive once we fulfill your order, but occasionally orders take longer, especially to Ontario and East.

Customers can now opt for tracked, express shipping options at checkout if you require faster delivery.

Larger bulbs and plants are sent via tracked flat rate box.

 

Shipping to the US

We now require all US shoppers to obtain a Small Lot Seed Permit before we can mail your seeds. It's free to apply and you will likely be granted the permit instantly. We appreciate if you can email us your permit as soon as you can after your purchase.

How to apply for your Small Seed Lot Import Permit:

  1. Go to https://efile.aphis.usda.gov/s/
  2. Select PPQ-587 in the dropdown menu and click "Get Started".
  3. Login and follow the instructions to obtain a permit. It's best to list "Eligible Taxa" instead of listing all the species you'd like to import so you don't need to worry about missing any species you ordered.
  4. Once you receive your permit, promptly email us 2 documents: a copy of your permit and a copy of the yellow/green shipping labels. Tell us if which USDA station you want us to send the seeds to. If not mentioned we will choose one. Our email is grow@cicadaseeds.ca
  5. We are not able to send any pepper or tomato seeds, or any live plant materials to the US due to restrictions.

After receiving your documentation, we will mail your seeds to the inspection facility. We will ship via tracked parcel, and you will receive the tracking number when your order has shipped. Orders will be mailed first to a plant inspection facility in the US, then they forward the package on to your address after inspection. This can take several weeks, depending on how long the inspection takes. Unfortunately we are not able to replace packages that are confiscated or destroyed by customs, or for any duties or tariffs placed on your order.

International customers can select tracked or untracked shipping at checkout. The package will list the contents as "Garden Seeds". It is your responsibility to ensure you have the required import permit. We are not able to send any live plant materials internationally.

Winners!

I've been growing this tomato variety from Michalina for 3 years now, and it is by far my favourite! I have tried up to 12 varieties in our large greenhouse and this is the winner. This variety has a really balanced rich flavour and is the perfect medium small size. We run a guest lodge and are super happy with all of the different varieties offered. The other review mentioned the tomatoes splitting - we don't find this is an issue if you pick promptly at first blush :)

Not for beginners, these are fussy!

First season trying this new variety in my garden and 99% of these tomatoes split. They were grown in the same conditions and soil as many other varieties and even when I picked them at the first sign of colour and brought them inside, they still split. Also a smaller tomato than I thought. Flavour average. Sadly I will not grow these again.
