Notes
'Rugby' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Rugby') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. 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. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. This indeterminate hybrid grows fast, needs about 85 days to mature, and draws bees to its flowers.
Pairs well with Dukat dill, Tasty Green cucumber, and Cilantro.
