Notes
'Candyland Red' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Candyland Red') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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 tend to nibble other plants first. Bees visit its flowers, and it grows at a rapid rate, so give it room.
Pairs well with Basil, Borage, Calendula, and Nasturtium.
