Notes

'Thorburn's Terra-Cotta Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Thorburn's Terra-Cotta Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. 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. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit its flowers.

Pairs well with Basil, Calendula, Borage, and Parsley.
