Notes
'Queen Bee' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Queen Bee') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, 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 rarely make it their first choice. Its flowers attract bees.
Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Alpha calendula, and Socrates cucumber.
