Seedling, Tomatillo, Mountain eggplant
Physalis ixocarpa
This lush-growing native from Mexico gives many fruits of about 5 cm. The fruits can turn from green to purple at maturity and are housed in a papery lantern. Mountain eggplants thrive in the field and bring high yields during the whole growing season. The fruits are a very useful ingredient in ratatouille and sauces, etc. It is an ideal replacement for eggplant which you can harvest for much of the growing season.
We recommend to cultivate at least two plants, as tomatillos are self-sterile.
