They are indoor..but..both will grow outdoors but you  will not get the same results, they do better in a greenhouse.

Just for curiosity, I guess you are thinking about buying plants..have you got them yet?

The reason I say this is..oh so tactfully.. there are much better flavoured ones available and many of them will grow happilly outside.

Well, I know many people don't like MoneyMaker. But I grew them last year and I found them quite OK :) maybe I have strange tomato taste.
I grew them successfully outside, BUT I am in southern Brittany so we do get a reasonably warm summer here, over 25 degC usually. I find them to be a little late compared with the others, about a week or so behind, but they are a heavy cropper.
