Tomato 'Purple haze'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Purple haze is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Purple haze likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Purple haze about 42 days before your last frost date.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Purple haze is a tender plant.

The seeds for this exquisite deep purple fruit are from Kansas City tomato guru, Keith Mueller. Keith developed this perfectly round 2" to 3" tomato with rapturous flavor, generous size (for a cherry), and sensuous color. It’s name was inspired by its color and parental lineage which combines Brandywine, Cherokee Purple and Black Cherry.
