Notes
'Tasmanian Chocolate' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Tasmanian Chocolate') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is a delicious slicer for small spaces, and bees visit the burgundy blooms.
Pairs well with Fern Leaf dill, Carrot, and Cilantro.
