About This

• Heritage: Cherokee Purple tomatoes are an heirloom variety, believed to have been originally cultivated by the Cherokee people. They were popularized by Craig LeHoullier, who received seeds in the 1990s from John D. Green, a gardener in Tennessee.
• Appearance: These tomatoes are known for their deep, dusky purple color with green shoulders, especially when ripe. The color deepens as they mature, and they often have a slightly flattened shape with a ribbed appearance.
• Flavor Profile: Cherokee Purple tomatoes are celebrated for their rich, complex flavor, often described as having a sweet, smoky, and slightly acidic taste. This makes them a favorite among gourmet chefs and home gardeners alike.
• Growing Characteristics: They are an indeterminate variety, meaning they continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the season until frost. This variety prefers warm, sunny conditions but can be susceptible to cracking if watering is inconsistent.
• Quality: Fresh seeds for the current & following season that originate from a temperature & moisture-controlled facility.
• Quantity: Generous seed counts allow you to share with friends and family or easily store the extras for next season.
