Tomatillo 'Purple Tomatillo'

Does not self pollinate, so plant at least two plants.

Position in a full sun location and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Purple Tomatillo is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 7.0 as Purple Tomatillo likes to be in weakly acidic soil to neutral soil.

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.58 inches (1.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 2.47 feet (76.0 cm) between Tomatillo plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 24°C / 75°F to ensure good germination.

Needs well-drained soil. Plan to support the plants to keep fruit off the ground. Plants will get 3-4 feet tall and at least as wide.

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

Pick fruits when the husk starts to split and fruit fills out the husk.

Will do well in raised gardens.
