Notes
'Optimax' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Optimax') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. This indeterminate hybrid grows rapidly, ripens in about 76 days, and draws bees to its flowers.
Pairs well with Dukat dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Tasty Green cucumber.
