Notes
'Sun Gold' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Sun Gold') 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. It is a cherry type with an indeterminate habit, so the vines keep growing and setting fruit. Bees visit the summer flowers, and you can stake the tall vines to keep them upright.
Pairs well with Scarlet runner, Prostratus rosemary, and Asparagus.
