Notes
'Prairie Fire Tomato' (Solanum lycopersicum 'Prairie Fire Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. The fragrant plants draw butterflies and bees, so give the tall stems support.
Pairs well with Basil, Borage, Calendula, and Nasturtium.
