Sow in pots at a temperature of between 16 and 20°C, under a well-lit shelter, 5 weeks before planting. After the last frosts, transplant the whole clump into the ground at a minimum distance of 50 cm, burying the stem up to the first leaves. Water abundantly at the time of planting.
Solanaceae need light and heat to produce. In cool climates, it's best to grow them under cover and, depending on the soil, water them regularly.

This variety, originally from Germany, was selected in 2004 by Craig LeHoullier. A mutation discovered in a variety cultivated by Reinhard Kraft gave it the distinction of being the first potato-foliage tomato to produce green fruit.
