Notes

'Indigo Blue Chocolate Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Indigo Blue Chocolate Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers.

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