Purple Tomatillos are a striking and flavorful addition to any garden, producing small, deep purple fruits with a sweet-tart taste. Unlike green tomatillos, purple tomatillos develop a richer sweetness when fully ripe, making them perfect for fresh salsas, sauces, and Mexican dishes. The fruits are enclosed in papery husks that split open as the tomatillos mature, revealing their vibrant color. Highly productive and easy to grow, purple tomatillos are a must-have for gardeners looking to add unique flavor and color to their harvest.

*Days to Maturity – Ready for harvest in approximately 70-80 days, ideal for mid-season use.
*Sweet-Tart Flavor – A balanced, fruity taste, perfect for salsas, sauces, and fresh eating.
*Vibrant Purple Color – Adds a unique, eye-catching color to dishes and garden displays.
*Productive Plants – Abundant yields throughout the season with continuous fruiting.

Each packet contains approximately 30 seeds.

Note: At least 2 plants are required from fruit set. May be different tomatillo varieties.

Start tomatillo seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date, as these plants grow quickly and can become leggy if started too early. Press seeds into the soil, cover lightly, and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-10 days. If plants become leggy, they can be "potted up" with the stem buried to promote a stronger structure.

Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant tomatillos outdoors in a sunny location, spacing plants 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart for optimal growth. To ensure fruit set, plant at least two tomatillo plants.
