Notes
'Red Torch' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Red Torch') 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 tend to nibble other plants first. It matures in 65 days, and bees visit its flowers.
Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Santo cilantro, and Socrates cucumber.
