Notes
'Black Prince' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Black Prince') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fruits are mahogany brown with good flavor, and bees visit the flowers. Rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Dukat dill, Santo cilantro, and Margarita cucumber.
