Cherokee Purple
Baker Creek
80 days. An old Cherokee Indian heirloom, pre-1890 variety; beautiful, deep, dusky purple-pink color, superb sweet flavor, and very-large-sized fruit. Try this one for real old-time tomato flavor. Our favorite dark tomato and one of our best selling varieties. Growing Tips: Start indoors 6-10 weeks before last frost. Heat mat helps to warm soil and speed germination.
