Notes

'Bonny Best Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Bonny Best Tomato') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and borders. 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. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Its flowers attract butterflies and bees, and the plant grows 35 to 122 inches tall.

Pairs well with Basil, Calendula, Borage, and Nasturtium.
