Striped German tomato plants are grown from seeds, and the listings below offer several ways to start: choose a dedicated Striped German packet for a focused planting, or a mixed tomato collection if you want multiple varieties. The Mountain Valley Seed Co packet is best for gardeners seeking a clearly described heirloom option; the 20-plus- and 45-seed listings are alternatives with stated seed counts. The other two products are related tomato choices, not dedicated Striped German seed packets.

Mountain Valley Seed Co Striped German
This is a dedicated Striped German tomato seed packet. The listing describes approximately 65 seeds in a 300 mg packet and identifies the seeds as non-GMO, heirloom, and open-pollinated. It names the species as Solanum lycopersicum and describes the seeds as intended for vegetable gardening.
Best for: Gardeners who want a specifically named Striped German variety and value clear details about packet contents and seed type. It was selected because its listing provides more variety-specific information than several other options here.
Consider: The stated quantity is approximate, and the listing does not provide a planting calendar or growing instructions in the supplied details.
Striped German Tomato Seeds, 20+ Seeds
This listing identifies the product as Striped German tomato seeds and states a quantity of 20 or more seeds. Its title also describes the seeds as non-GMO and presents the packet for home garden or greenhouse planting.
Best for: A gardener looking for a named Striped German option with a stated minimum quantity. It offers a smaller listed seed count than the Mountain Valley packet, which may suit a more limited planting.
Consider: The supplied product information does not include additional details about whether the seeds are heirloom or open-pollinated, or instructions for starting them.
Striped German Tomato Seeds, 45 Seeds
This packet is titled as a 45-seed Striped German tomato offering. The description promotes seeds for home gardening, container gardening, and indoor or outdoor planting, and describes its broader selection as non-GMO. It is presented as suitable for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
Best for: Buyers who want a named Striped German packet with a stated count higher than 20 seeds. The listing’s gardening context makes it a practical option to compare for home or greenhouse use.
Consider: The supplied details do not specify whether this particular variety is heirloom or open-pollinated, or provide a variety-specific germination rate.
Rainbow Deluxe Mix Of 16 Tomato Varieties
This is a mix, not a dedicated Striped German packet. The listing describes 16 heirloom, non-GMO, indeterminate tomato varieties, including Giant Old German, Chocolate Stripes, and Giant Mr. Stripey. Seeds are packed together rather than individually by variety, so the exact variety of an individual seed cannot be identified from its packaging.
Best for: Gardeners who want to grow a range of tomato varieties and are comfortable with a mixed packet. The supplied instructions recommend starting seeds in small containers about eight weeks before transplanting, at a soil temperature of 70–75°F for germination.
Consider: Choose another listing if you specifically need Striped German seeds separated from other varieties.
Old German Tomato Seeds, 50 Seeds
This listing is for Old German tomato seeds, not Striped German seeds. It states a 50-seed quantity and describes the seeds as heirloom, organic, and non-GMO. The product is presented for a garden, greenhouse, or flower bed.
Best for: Buyers open to a related Old German tomato rather than requiring the exact Striped German variety. It provides a clearly stated seed count and several stated seed attributes.
Consider: Do not treat the names Old German and Striped German as interchangeable when selecting a specific variety.
Buying Guide: Choosing Striped German Tomato Seeds
Do you need the exact variety?
Choose a packet explicitly titled Striped German if that variety is your priority. A mixed assortment or an Old German packet is not the same thing: the mixed listing includes several named varieties but does not package them separately, while the Old German listing names a different tomato.
How many seeds should you buy?
Compare the quantity against the number of plants you plan to start. The listings state approximately 65 seeds, 20 or more seeds, and 45 seeds for three dedicated Striped German options. Seed counts do not tell you how many seedlings will ultimately thrive, so follow the packet’s directions and avoid starting more plants than you can care for.
What seed information matters?
Check whether the listing identifies the variety, seed quantity, and attributes such as heirloom, open-pollinated, or non-GMO. These details are not supplied equally for every product. For a mixed packet, also check whether varieties are separated; the Rainbow Deluxe listing says they are not.
When should you start seeds?
Use the selected packet’s planting directions when available. The Rainbow Deluxe listing gives instructions for its mix: start seeds in small containers about eight weeks before the planned set-out date, maintain suitable warmth, and transplant after the expected last frost. Those directions are supplied for that product and should not automatically be assumed to match every packet.
