Toma Verde Tomatillo, Heirloom Seeds β€” The Early-Maturing Heirloom Built for Salsa Verde

Toma Verde (Physalis ixocarpa) is the go-to tomatillo for salsa verde β€” early-maturing and prolific, producing large, flat-round green fruits with excellent flavor that are ripe when they burst through their husks. Blended with fresh hot peppers, Toma Verde makes the traditional Mexican green sauce that defines authentic salsa verde. Culture and care are similar to tomatoes. 60 days from transplant.

Why Grow Toma Verde?

  • Early maturing β€” 60 days from transplant β€” one of the fastest tomatillos to harvest
  • Large, flat-round green fruits β€” excellent flavor, ripe when husks split
  • The salsa verde standard β€” the classic variety for traditional Mexican green sauce
  • Popular in the Southwest β€” proven performer in hot, dry climates
  • Open-pollinated heirloom β€” save seed year after year

Growing Notes

Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed, spacing plants 24–36 inches apart in full sun. Important: Tomatillos will not self-pollinate β€” plant two or more plants (any tomatillo variety) for good fruit production. Harvest when fruits burst through their husks.
