Notes

'California Tulip Tomato' (Solanum lycopersicum 'California Tulip Tomato') is a vegetable for the food garden, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows about 60 inches tall, and its fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees.

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