Notes

'Purple Zebra F1' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Purple Zebra F1') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and pollinator gardens. 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. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its flowers attract bees, and its fast growth is easy to manage with a stake or cage.

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