Notes
'Pruden's Purple' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Pruden's Purple') 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. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. This indeterminate heirloom has pink flowers that attract bees, and it reaches maturity in about 72 days.
Pairs well with Dukat dill, Alpha calendula, and Quirk cucumber.
