Cherokee Purple Organic Tomato Seeds

Cherokee Purple Organic Tomato is an heirloom favorite known for its famously rich, full flavor and distinctive dusky coloring. Medium-large fruits weigh 8–12 ounces and mature to a deep pink-purple with dark shoulders. Inside, the flesh ranges from purple to brown to green, creating the dramatic, multilayered look this variety is known for.

The flavor is sweet, smoky, and deeply balanced — the kind that defines a true slicing tomato. Plants are indeterminate, producing fruit steadily through the season. Vines are somewhat shorter than many heirloom types but still benefit from staking or caging for best results.

This is a garden-grown tomato meant to be harvested fully ripe for peak flavor.

How to Sow

1. Start seeds indoors 5–6 weeks before the last frost.
   

2. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep soil warm (75–85°F) for germination.
   

3. Transplant into full sun after danger of frost has passed.
   

4. Space plants 24–36 inches apart and support with cages or stakes.
