Organic Cherokee Purple Tomato

$3.29

One of the most well known heirloom tomato for a reason. This beefsteak variety is packed with complex flavor and a perfectly smooth and juicy texture. The shape of the fruits can vary wildly as well as the colors, ranging from red to brown to purple to green, making every tomato a unique heirloom experience!

Plant Preferences:

Tomatoes are a tender annual that grow well in warm climates and will not tolerate any frost. Plant in well draining soil and use a high in phosphorus fertilizer for larger and tastier harvest.

Cherokee Purple is an indeterminate variety that performs best with pruning and trellising, and will bear fruit over an entire season.

When to Sow:

Start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Even the smallest amount of frost can kill tomato seedlings, so wait until the danger of frost has passed before planting. Use floating row covers on young transplants for extra warmth and protection, or wait until nighttime temperatures are no lower than 45 degrees to avoid frost damage.

Days to Maturity: 

From Transplant: 80-85 days

Sowing Depth:

1/8"-1/4"

Plant Spacing:

Plant transplants about 1-2 feet apart if using trellises or stakes, or 2-3 feet apart if no supports are used.
