Growing Information
Growing Cherokee Purple Heirloom Tomato
‘Cherokee Purple’ is a Tennessee heirloom tomato prized for its distinctive dark color and sweet, tangy flavor. Large fruits develop dusky rose-brown exteriors with brick-red interiors, creating one of the most recognizable dark heirloom tomatoes.
Start ‘Cherokee Purple’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety thrives during warm summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 80 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and develop their mature dusky coloring.
Sweet, tangy, and richly flavored, ‘Cherokee Purple’ is excellent for fresh eating and slicing.
