The Cherokee Purple looks interesting. How do you like it?

[JerseyJohn61]

Cherokee Purple is amazing. It is often categorized as a
a Black instead of a Purple(Purples are actually DEEP
PINKS). CPs are unusually colored. Grayish, dusky Rose
to brickish Red. Often with green shoulders.

A truly reliable variety. Dependable sprouters, growers
and good producers. A rich, complex flavor that often
becomes a favorite.

There is a sub variety, Cherokee Chocolate(brownish red),
that also gets rave reviews.

I've grown CP every years since ‘05, and despite needing
new space for new varieties, it always finds its way on
my final grow list.

The Cherokee PEOPLE have been growing this variety in the
southeast since before 1900. Craig Lehoullier introduced
this variety to the public after having been given a few
seeds some years back. It has become one of the most
listed in heirloom catalogs.
