Standard Purple

Price range: $5.00 through $9.00

Add a pop of color and flavor to your garden with the vibrant Standard Purple Tomatillo. This eye-catching variety produces medium-sized, deep purple fruits enclosed in papery husks that split open as they ripen. The fruits have a slightly sweeter, richer flavor than green tomatillos—perfect for making colorful salsa verde, roasting, or adding zest to sauces and stews. Plants are vigorous, high-yielding, and thrive in warm, sunny conditions. 80 days to maturity.
