Notes

'Jasper' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Jasper') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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. Fruits mature in 60 days, and the flowers attract bees. Rabbits tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Fern Leaf dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Picolino cucumber.
