Notes

'Sunrise Sauce' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Sunrise Sauce') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to nibble other plants first. It grows as a bush with a rapid growth rate, and bees visit its orange flowers.

Pairs well with Pesto Perpetuo basil, Gateway cucumber, and Teddy dill.
