Tomatillo, Pancho
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Pancho tomatillo is a favorite among gardeners for its large, sweet yet tangy fruits that are perfect for a variety of culinary uses, especially salsas and sauces. This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, requiring cross-pollination for a bountiful harvest, hence the need to plant them in groups. Beyond their culinary appeal, Pancho tomatillos offer ornamental value to gardens with their bright yellow flowers and the striking transition of their husks from green to a papery straw color as the fruits mature. Their robust growth and the visual appeal of the maturing fruits make them a dual-purpose choice for both utility and aesthetics in the garden.

Shipping Live Plants
Live plants, particularly annual vegetables, can be quite delicate. To ensure their safe arrival in optimal condition, we take several precautionary measures:
-
Rigorous hardening off process: We prepare the plants to be resilient enough for their journey by gradually acclimating them to outdoor conditions.
-
Application of organic prebiotics and supplements: We treat plants with natural products to enhance their health and vigor before they make the journey.
-
Development of a strong root system: We prioritize cultivating a robust root system so the plants can quickly adapt and flourish upon arrival.
-
Custom packing materials: We use specially designed packing materials to secure and protect the plants during transit, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition.
Our live plants are sold in 3-inch pots and can be shipped to all US states, with the exception of Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington state. We utilize Priority Mail for shipping to ensure a speedy delivery and ship only on Mondays to ensure no plants languish in mailrooms over the weekend.
While you can order whatever your desired quantity of plants is, our packaging is for plants in sets of 3. Thus, flat rate shipping is in multiples of 3, starting with 1-3 plants for $14. The shipping cost will auto-populate at checkout.
