Tomatillo 'De Milpa' (Physalis philadelphica) is a wild-type heirloom variety featuring small, purple-tinged fruits that are significantly sweeter and more flavorful than standard supermarket types. These robust plants produce husked fruits that are a staple for authentic Mexican cuisine.

This professional-grade seedling is grown with an organic heritage to ensure a nutrient-dense and vigorous harvest. It is an ideal choice for sunny vegetable beds where it can be grown alongside tomatoes for high-yield summer production.

  • Heirloom Flavor: Intense, sweet-tart flavor with unique purple skin.
  • High Yield: Prolific producer of small, firm fruits in protective husks.
  • Culinary Essential: The premier choice for authentic salsa verde and sauces.
  • Resilient Growth: More drought and pest resistant than many modern varieties.
  • Organic Heritage: Grown naturally for the cleanest possible home harvest.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun with regular water needs.
