Tomatillo - Verde Puebla (10 seeds)

Tomatillo - Verde Puebla

Physalis ixocarpa

Tomatillo Verde Puebla is a vigorous and productive variety producing larger-than-average fruit at around 5 cm across with a bright green skin and a distinctly savoury flavour that sets it apart from sweeter tomatillo types. Named after the Mexican state of Puebla where tomatillos are a cornerstone of the regional cuisine, it is the ideal choice for authentic salsa verde, chili verde, and the full range of classic Mexican dishes where tomatillo is the star ingredient. Husks reveal bright, vivid green fruit at harvest that holds its colour well when cooked.

Fast maturing and reliably productive, Verde Puebla is one of the most practical tomatillo varieties for the home garden. Thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture through the season. As with all tomatillos, plant two or more for cross-pollination and the best fruit set.
