Notes
'Blush' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Blush') 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. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Bees visit the flowers, and the fruit takes 70 days to reach maturity.
Pairs well with Excelsior cucumber, Dukat dill, and Flashback Mix calendula.
