Seed/Plant info: Add a pop of color to your salsas with these purple tomatillos with incredibly sweet fruits measuring 2 to 3 inches across (1.8 - 2.8 ounces), enclosed in a papery husk. Much sweeter than green varieties, they have a tangy-sweet taste with citrus notes and subtle hints of plum or pear. Vigorous vines. Unlike many tomato (Solanum) species that can self-pollinate, tomatillo plants are generally self-incompatible and require at least two plants for successful fruit sets. Essential in Mexican cuisine for salsa verde, generally more tart and acidic than tomatoes. Unlike tomatoes, tomatillos remain firm when ripe. Good disease resistance! 80+ days to harvest. Indeterminate variety. Physalis philadelphica.
