Notes

'Indigo Kumquat' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Indigo Kumquat') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, 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. Its orange flowers attract bees and the vines grow rapidly. It sits low on the menu for rabbits.

Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Santo cilantro, and Navy bean.
