Notes

'Black Angel' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Black Angel') is a vegetable for containers and the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. This dark heirloom type also draws bees to its flowers.

Pairs well with Dukat dill, Alpha calendula, and Black Magic kale.
