Beautiful purple color

We grew these for the first time in 2022. They were good producers! They have a nice flavor and Beautiful purple color. We have grown purple tomatillos but usually the husk on them is purple not the fruit. If you haven't tried them i would suggest you do. FYI, you really need 2 tomatillo plants to get a good harvest.
