Notes

'Marnero' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Marnero') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. Give it full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. This tomato matures in 72 days, and its purple flowers attract bees.

Pairs well with Dukat dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Cool Customer cucumber.
