Notes

'Red Pearl' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Red Pearl') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and annual beds. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It matures in 58 days, and bees visit the blooms. It sits low on the menu for rabbits.

Pairs well with Moroccan mint, Leek, and Carolina Reaper pepper.
