Tomatillo 'De Milpa'
Physalis philadelphica 'De Milpa'
De Milpa is a tomatillo variety that produces small-to-medium-sized fruits that develop a dark purple blush as they ripen. This variety stores well.
Harvest your tomatillos when they are firm, and the husk is dry and starting to open.
Tomatillos require cross-pollination to set fruit. You should grow at least two tomatillos for successful pollination and fruit-set.
Tomatillos grow best in full sun and warm temperatures with fertile, well-draining soil. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through June, depending on suppliers availability.
