(Physalis pruinosa) Tiny, golden marbles wrapped in papery husks deliver an addictive burst of creamy strawberry flavor with a bright, unmistakable pineapple finish—often described as pure tropical candy. One taste and people’s eyes light up.
 
Compact, bushy plants grow just 12–18 inches tall and wide, making them perfect for borders, containers, or tossing into any sunny corner of the garden. Super-easy and low-maintenance, they’re self-fertile, heavy producers, and need almost no attention once established.Fruits ripen inside their lantern-like husks and drop naturally to the ground when fully ripe and sweetest. Gather the fallen husks, store them in a bowl (husks on), and they’ll keep for weeks—flavor only improves.
 
Important: Like all nightshades, unripe ground cherries contain solanine. Only eat fruits that have fallen on their own; green or forcibly picked ones can be bitter and mildly toxic in quantity. When golden and dropped, they’re completely safe and delicious.

Sold in a 2.5" pot.
