Purple Tomatillo’s are even sweeter than green tomatillos when totally ripe. Wait one week after fruit drops off the plant for sweetest taste and deepest purple color.

Vigorous prostrate vine. Used in salsa verde or in pies. Tomatillo adds a sweet/sour flavor to Mexican dishes. Grows similar to regular tomato plants, in full sun, well drained soil and even moisture. Remember Tomatillos are self-sterile, so always plant at least two. Very disease resistance. 70 days to harvest.
