Purple Tomatillo Seeds (Organic)

Purple Tomatillo Seeds (Organic)

Vibrant purple, tangy salsa star.

Purple Tomatillo is a vibrant and flavorful addition to any garden, celebrated for its stunning color and unique taste. These small, round fruits develop a deep purple hue as they mature, surrounded by a papery husk that adds to their visual appeal. Known for their sweet-tart flavor, purple tomatillos are perfect for making salsas, sauces, or roasting to bring out their natural sweetness.

Growing purple tomatillo seeds is an enjoyable and rewarding experience. These hardy plants thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, producing an abundant crop of tomatillo purple fruits throughout the growing season. For optimal pollination and fruit production, it’s best to plant multiple purple tomatillo seedlings. The plants are vigorous and sprawling, making staking or caging a good idea to support their growth and keep the fruits off the ground.

Not only are purple tomatillos delicious, but they also bring a striking visual element to the garden. Their vibrant color and rich flavor make them a standout ingredient in both traditional Mexican dishes and creative culinary experiments. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a novice, adding Purple Tomatillo plants to your garden ensures a bountiful and colorful harvest that is as delightful to grow as it is to eat.

Annual Heirloom. This vibrant variety produces small, round fruits with a striking purple color that intensifies in sunlight. Known for their sweet-tart flavor, purple tomatillos are perfect for salsas, sauces, and fresh dishes. The plants are highly productive and thrive with proper pollination, making them a unique and flavorful addition to any garden.

Never ripened, never turned purple.

Planted 4 plants and spaced them as much as tomatoes. They got around 8 hours per day of sunlight, pruned them lightly, watered regularly. These are not purple. I don't even know what stage to even pick them it's been 5 months, much past "68-70 day to maturity" an the ripest they get is a yellowish tint to the green. They also taste bitter and horrible. Ground cherries are similar and I grew a bunch of those this year. Not problems with them ripening and tasting amazing. Maybe I got a bad batch. idk

Direct Sow for Best Results!

We love Tomatillos and they grow like weeds. We like them fresh in salads and salsas as well as cooked with protein dishes.
The purple strains are so attractive in any dish . . . Peaceful Valley's seeds are fresh and highly viable.
I start most of my veggies indoors, but Tomatillo seedlings are very fragile and I find direct sowing to be a better way to grow them.
I got nearly 100% germination from the packet I bought right here.
BTW: Do you love beefsteak sized heirloom style Tomatoes but live in the foggy coastal regions of California where only cherry and pear tomatoes grow well?
Lobby our friends here at Peaceful Valley to trial and distribute my new introduction: "San Francisco Sunrise".
Too late this season (it is the end of May 2021 as I write this) for you to start seedlings but search eBay for photos and the full story!
