Notes

'Blue Beech' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Blue Beech') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Plants reach maturity in 82 days, and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Corinto cucumber, Dukat dill, and Flashback Mix calendula.
