Heirloom Tomatillo Seed
(Physalis ixocarpa)
Heirloom / Open Pollinated Tomatillo may be direct seeded in long season climates, otherwise it is recommended to start indoors 4-6 wks. before last frost date. When direct seeding Tomatillos, plant ¼” deep. Plant in full sun or with afternoon shade in hot climates. Thin to 12-24″ apart. Heirloom / Open Pollinated Tomatillos like an average water supply. Tomatillo plants are self supporting, but do sprawl, so caging or trellising is recommended in small gardens. Heirloom / Open Pollinated Tomatillo fruits are mature when husks are light tan, and fruits split the husk.
