Notes
'Firebird' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Firebird') 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. Bees visit the flowers, and the plant matures in 72 days. Rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Fernleaf dill, Peione parsley, and Sashimi cucumber.
