Physalis ixocarpa 'Rendidora'
Duration: Annual
When to Sow: Spring Ease of Germination: Easy
A fixture in Mexican salsa verde, the mildly hot green sauce served with tacos and chile rellenos. Resembles green tomatoes and ground cherries, but neither is a substitute for the tomatillo. Tomatillos will keep well through the winter if stored loose in a cool place. Easy to grow -- rather like tomatoes. Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date for an early start. richters
