Tomatillo Seeds, Grande Rio Verde, Organic

ID: #595494

Description

Tomatillos are essential to a wide variety of Mexican foods. 'Grande Rio Verde' yields ripe fruit nearly all at once on compact plants (about 24" tall), thus lending themselves to smaller spaces or containers. A shorter harvest window is ideal for canning or freezing your favorite tomatillo-based sauces, or you can simply freeze tomatillos for use later. Tomatillos thrive in growing conditions similar to tomatoes (because they are related) but will handle a lot more heat. Grow two or more plants to ensure good pollination. Days to Maturity: 85 Days from transplanting Family: Solanaceae Native: Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala Hardiness: Frost-sensitive annual Exposure: Full sun Plant Dimensions: 24" tall and about as wide Variety Info: 3 ounce, green fruit inside a thin, papery husk Attributes: Frost Sensitive, Heat Tolerant, Good for Containers Photos and plant information courtesy of botanicalinterests.com
