Notes
'Jet Star' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Jet Star') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is a slicer type with an indeterminate habit, so it keeps growing and setting fruit as the season goes on. The plant grows fast and can reach 72 inches tall, so give it a sturdy stake or cage.
Pairs well with Okra, Kale, and Creeping thyme.
