Overview
Patio is a Petoseed F1 hybrid from 1965, bred from Peto inbreds as one of the first dwarf tomatoes made for pots, and an early All-America Selections winner. Plants stay 18 to 24 inches with a strong upright habit and dark green, bushy, potato-leaf foliage, and they thrive in a container as small as 12 inches across. The red fruit is large for such a small plant, oblate with green shoulders and roughly 3 to 4 ounces, sometimes tennis-ball size, with reliable old-fashioned flavor. Fusarium wilt resistance is listed. Sow indoors about 6 weeks before the last frost, set out after frost, and keep the pot evenly watered since small containers dry fast.
