Physalis ixocarpa
Shambhavi is a gorgeous purple shouldered yellow tomatillo selected right here at BDS from the incredible Acorazonado lineage. Acorazonado is a landrace tomatillo from the ancient Aztec pueblo of Malinalco, Mexico, a place steeped in magical lore. This tomatillo is quite unlike others in terms of its size, heart-like shape and for its out-of-hand sweetness and fruitiness--unlike any other tomatillo we’ve ever tried before! We are selecting this stock for striking purple and yellow coloring, blight resistance and the ability to thrive in our humid Maine summers. As a landrace variety you can expect some variation in fruit color, shape and size. Shambhavi is the name for the sacred celestial happening of Twilight in the Sanskrit language.
