Tomato 'Purple Passion'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Purple Passion is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Purple Passion needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 12°C / 54°F.

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

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

Purple Passion is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid summer.

Tomato ‘Purple Passion’ was introduced by Diane’s Flower Seeds in 2005. Diane Linsley obtained the original seed from James M. Irvine, who got his seeds from Ron Watts of Kaysville, Utah. According to Mr. Irvine, Purple Passion is an old Utah heirloom.
