Notes

'Mushroom Basket Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Mushroom Basket Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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 attracts butterflies and bees. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice.

Pairs well with Basil, Borage, Calendula, and Parsley.
