Notes

'Marmande' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Marmande') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. 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. It grows fast and has an ascending habit, so give it a sturdy support. Bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Greek Oregano oregano, Okra, and Broccoli.
