Mardi Gras Tomatillo Mix

Mardi Gras Tomatillo Mix

50 Seeds

$ 3.69

Also known as the Mexican husk tomato, tomatillos were domesticated in Mexico and have become a staple of Mexican cuisine.  While they've yet to gain widespread popularity in the US, we think tomatillos are well-deserving of a spot in any garden.  Yes, they're delicious, but you'll also be amazed by their beauty, with lantern-like husks that seem to glow when back lit by the setting sun.  This particular strain has a significant amount of genetic variation for fruit size and color.  I have maintained this diversity by bulking seed from many plants, but those interested in plant breeding may prefer to select for a specific color and size.  Harvests begin approximately 70 to 90 days from transplant.  Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

Good So Far!

All but 1 seed germinated, and they were the first of my seedlings to come through the soil. They're 2 inches high and bigger every day!

Every seed I planted germinated into a healthy plant.

As a rule I place a couple of extra seeds into a peat pot to assure that I have at least one germinate. Every seed germinated so a separated the extra plants to share with friends.
I look forward to seeing them mature and produce fruit.
