Notes

'Mochi' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Mochi') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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. It grows fast and matures in 60 days, and bees visit the flowers. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Dukat dill, Peione parsley, Sashimi cucumber, and Flowerburst Red Shades yarrow.
