Verde Tomatillo is a prolific and flavorful variety known for its round, green fruit and bright, tangy flavor. Each tomatillo grows to about 2-3 inches in diameter, encased in a papery husk that splits open as the fruit ripens. The firm, slightly tart flesh is perfect for making salsas, sauces, and green enchiladas, or for chopping fresh into salads and guacamole. Thriving in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, Verde Tomatillo plants are vigorous and easy to grow, maturing in about 75-90 days. The plants require a second tomatillo for cross-pollination, ensuring abundant yields throughout the season. These bushy plants are highly productive, delivering a steady supply of fruit for your culinary creations. Regular harvesting when the husks are fully open ensures peak flavor and freshness. Verde Tomatillo is a must-have for home gardeners and cooks who enjoy bold, zesty flavors. Its versatility in the kitchen and ease of cultivation make it a standout choice for any vegetable garden. Add this vibrant and delicious fruit to your garden for a taste of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Did You Know? Grow tomatillos like you would tomatoes, though they do not require staking and are more resistant to pests and diseases. They are the main ingredient in salsa verde and other Mexican dishes.

Soil & Water: Tomatillos love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Soak the soil 4-6" deep at 7-day intervals. Mulch to preserve moisture. Avoid wetting the foliage when watering.

Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight. Once transplanted, provide full sun, except in hot climates where some afternoon shade is recommended.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest individual fruits when the husk begins to split or the fruit fills out the husk.
