Cherokee Purple Tomato Plant Start

One of the first tomatoes that comes to mind when long-time growers think of “heirloom” varieties, with the first dating back to before 1890. Plants boast 16-ounce fruits featuring a deep pink-purple color. One of the top picks for those Summertime tomato sandwiches!

All plant starts are grown in OASIS® 1.5″ x 1.5″ grow cubes until they reach approximately 4″ to 6″ in height. Plants are only stocked and made available for shipping once both the plant and root system are strong enough to withstand transit.

We do not accept pre-orders at this time.

Harvest: 75-85 Days

Sun: Full Sun

Pairs Well With:

Eggplants – Tomatoes and eggplants demand similar growing conditions making them quite a strong pairing

Basil Varieties – strong scent helps repel some of tomatoes’ pests, and c’mon what’s tomatoes without basil!

Marigolds – quite a good repellent for some of the pests that plague tomatoes

Beans, peas – Tomatoes are heavy feeders and pairing with legume varieties that enrich the soil will do them well

Cucumbers – Large leaf plants will help shade the ground around taller tomato plants, helping the ground retain water for the plant easier
