Notes

'Rapunzel' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Rapunzel') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and annual beds. 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. It grows fast and can reach 36 to 72 inches tall. Its summer flowers attract bees.

Pairs well with African Blue basil, Leek, and Carolina Reaper pepper.
