Grow one of the most celebrated heirloom tomatoes with Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Known for its rich, complex flavor and distinctive dusky-rose coloration, this indeterminate variety produces large beefsteak fruits with dense, meaty flesh. Cherokee Purple is a favorite among home gardeners who appreciate tomatoes with depth, sweetness, and a hint of smoky character—especially when eaten fresh right from the garden.
Rich, Sweet, and Slightly Smoky Flavor:
Cherokee Purple tomatoes offer a uniquely full-bodied taste that stands out among heirlooms. Their deep rose-to-purple skin surrounds juicy, flavorful flesh that shines in fresh slicing applications. Allowing fruits to fully ripen enhances their sweetness and reveals their signature smoky undertone.
Why Customers Love Cherokee Purple Tomatoes:
- Large, meaty beefsteak fruits with dusky-rose to purple coloring
- Sweet, complex flavor with a subtle smoky note
- Indeterminate vines for steady, season-long production
- Shorter vines than many beefsteak types, making care easier
- Excellent slicing tomatoes ideal for sandwiches, salads, and fresh dishes
How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost date. Transplant outdoors once temperatures stabilize, setting plants in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Provide staking or caging to support the productive indeterminate vines. Regular deep watering and good airflow help maintain plant health and encourage consistent fruit development.
Harvest & Use:
Allow fruits to fully ripen on the vine until they develop their characteristic dusky-rose color and feel slightly soft to gentle pressure. Slice thick for sandwiches, caprese-style salads, or simple fresh plates where their rich flavor can stand out. Cherokee Purple is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate its depth and juicy texture.
