AnnualIndeterminate - Cherokee Purple is a beloved heirloom tomato known for its rich, smoky-sweet flavor and striking deep reddish-purple color. This variety produces large, beefsteak-style fruits with a dense, juicy texture. It’s a favorite for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh eating. Despite its rustic appearance and thin skin, it delivers exceptional taste and performs well in a variety of climates.

My seeds have sprouted and growing well!
I'm in zone 8A Southeast Tennessee.
Beautiful healthy seeds, can’t wait to plant
Grew these Cherokee purple for the first time last year and these plants were massive! Easily 5 foot tall thick stems with heavy fruit. Fruit production wasn't the best but that was because I started this variety a little late into the season compared to my other tomatoes. Germination rate was great I'm going to give these another shot this year earlier in the season.
this company was too too slow in delivering and honestly as a master gardener in Zone 9 they should have sent it quicker then 3 weeks. Also I have raised lot and lots of tomatoes in my day all sorts including Cherokee purple. These are the weakest plants I have ever seen.
Great tasting tomato, but compared to many of my other varieties, this one always lags a teeny bit behind the rest? its nothing terribly dramatic, but, just something I've noticed.
We planted five seeds in five die pattern in 12 x 2.5" starter pots because we suspected finicky germination rate, but much to our surprise 53 of the 60 seeds came up! We gave four seedlings to family and pricked the remaining 49 out and everyone is doing very well in its own pot. Grade A seeds in our opinion! We love MIGardener!
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
