Default marmande or gardener's delight in the greenhouse?

Can I grow either of these in a greenhouse?
I've read some stuff that says to grow them outside only, but what would happen if I plant some in the greenhouse border?

We've grown gardeners delight in the g/h, they are prolific and continue on until 1st frost - they don't half sprawl though!

You can grow them both in the greenhouse Oleander, but they'll both do just as well outside.

You may want to tie your gardeners delight into some canes is what is meant by sprawling! It likes to make itself comfy!!!

Both can be grown in the greenhouse and will give earlier crops that way. Remember they are two very different types of tomato. Gardeners Delight is a small fruited tomato, suitable for salads or eating straight off the plant, Marmande is a cooking tomato - not pretty to look at but very tasty. Both are cordon types and appreciate tying to a cane or wire support, plus removing the sideshoots.
