Mardi Gras Tomatillo Mix
50 Seeds
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.
