How to grow Tomatillo 'Verde'

  • Full Sun

  • High

Verde likes a position of full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Verde is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.0 and 7.0 as Tomatillo is a weakly acidic soil to neutral soil loving plant.

Growing Verde from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.47 feet (76.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.58 inches (1.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 24°C / 75°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Verde

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Verde is a tender plant.
