Purple Tomatillo Seeds – Heirloom, Non-GMO, Beautiful & TangyPhysalis ixocarpaListing is for 1 packet of minimum 50 seeds Purple tomatillos are a stunning and flavorful twist on a classic garden staple! Tomatillos, often used in salsa verde, are small, husked fruits related to tomatoes but with a tangy, citrus-like flavor. This purple variety adds beautiful deep violet hues and a hint of sweetness when fully ripe, making it perfect for fresh salsas, roasting, or adding color to your summer dishes. These plants are productive, vigorous, and easy to grow in full sun with well-drained soil. Harvest when the husks split and fruits turn a rich purple—earlier if you prefer a tarter flavor. Tomatillos are in the same family as tomatoes, so grow them in similar conditions, but tomatillos can handle hotter temperatures. Plat at minimum 2 tomatillo plants close together because they require cross pollination with another plant to produce.
