Notes

'Sungold' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Sungold') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and annual beds. 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. The vine grows quickly and reaches 48 to 60 inches tall. This hybrid matures in about 65 days, and bees visit its flowers.

Pairs well with Cilantro, Pineapple sage, and Black Magic kale.
