15x Tomatillo Verde Heirloom Seeds

Easy to grow and very prolific, producing 2-3" round fruits, ripening to yellow-green. Tomatillos, a staple in Mexican dishes, are used for fresh or cooked green sauces. Unlike tomatoes, the tomatillo fruit is covered by a papery, lantern-like husk that splits open at harvest time. Fruits have a citrusy, tart and tangy lemon flavor when picked firm, bright green and big enough to fill the husk. After husks are removed, ripe fruits keep well for up to 2 weeks when stored cool. Plants grow vigorously to 3-4 ft. tall and wide. Note, these are open pollinator plants, so you will need at least two plants for a productive fruit crop! All our garden seeds are hand-selected and packaged in resealable airtight bags (each bag is individually labeled), and for the current growing season. The seeds are from organically grown plants grown in Ojai, California. All our tomatillo seeds are heirloom, open-pollinated, naturally grown, and Non-GMO. All seeds are shipped in recycled paper envelopes.
