These tomatillos are native to the highlands of Guatemala, where they have been a staple crop for centuries.

The Purple Coban Tomatillo is a determinate variety, which means that it grows to a certain height and then stops, making it ideal for small gardens or container growing.

Germination: To start growing Purple Coban Tomatillo from seed, it is best to begin the process indoors.

Fill seed trays or pots with seed compost and water it well.

Sow the seeds on the surface, covering them with a thin layer of compost or vermiculite.

Place the tray or pots in a propagator or cover with a plastic bag and put them in a warm place, such as a windowsill or heated propagator.

Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged.

Germination usually takes 7-14 days at a temperature of around 75-85°F

Growing tips: Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 3in pots.

Grow them on in a greenhouse or on a sunny windowsill until all risk of frost has passed.

When planting them out, choose a sunny, well-drained spot in soil.

Space the plants about 24-36 inches apart.

Water the plants in well and keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.

It’s recommended to use Mulch around the base of the plants, to help preserve moisture in the soil.

Fertilize regularly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to promote healthy growth.

You can expect to harvest the tomatillos in around 60-70 days after transplanting.
