Cherokee Purple Heirloom Slicing Tomato
50 Seeds
Many gardeners would identify Cherokee Purple as the gateway heirloom leading them into their heirloom gardening addiction and it's easy to understand why. These beautiful, uniquely colored, bursting-with-flavor tomatoes bring to attention the striking lack of diversity and absence of flavor that is our current selection of grocery store tomatoes. Easy-to-grow, vigorous plants produce an abundance of deep purple tomatoes weighing up to one pound each. Juicy interiors are filled with an exceptional flavor that is full and complex with a sweet aftertaste. Indeterminate heirloom variety rumored to have originated from the Cherokee tribe. Our strain was received courtesy of the USDA National Genetic Resources Program. 80 days from transplant. 50 seeds per packet.
