Notes

'Mimosa' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Mimosa') 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. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. This fruity orange grape tomato also draws bees to its flowers.

Pairs well with Flashback Mix calendula, Teddy dill, and Sweet Success cucumber.
