Notes
'San Marzano II' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'San Marzano II') is a vegetable for containers and food 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 pass it by. Bees visit the flowers of this classic heirloom paste tomato.
Pairs well with Long Island Mammoth dill, Flowerburst Red Shades yarrow, and Flashback Mix calendula.
