Ground Cherry Aunt Molly's 50 Seeds (Physalis pruinosa) Heirloom - Open Pollinated

Description

Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry is a sweet, golden treasure for home gardeners. This heirloom variety produces small, husk-covered berries on bushy plants that grow up to 2 feet tall, making it a great choice for raised beds, containers, or traditional garden spaces. The berries have a tropical, pineapple-like flavor that’s perfect for snacking fresh, baking into pies, or making jams and preserves. Fruits are best harvested after they naturally drop to the ground and ripen—making them easy and fun to gather. This self-seeding annual thrives in USDA zones 5 through 9 and matures in just 70 to 80 days, providing a quick and rewarding harvest the same season you plant. To grow, start seeds indoors about six weeks before your last expected frost, then transplant outdoors once the danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Alternatively, you can direct sow seeds outdoors in spring after the soil has warmed, planting them 1/8 inch deep. Germination takes 14 to 30 days, and plants grow well in full sun or partial shade with moderate watering. These seeds are non-GMO and stored in dark, dry, and cool conditions to ensure high viability. Each seed packet includes detailed growing instructions and plant images to guide you along the way. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry is an easy and delightful addition to your edible landscape. With their sweet flavor, charming husks, and self-sowing habit, they’re sure to become a favorite in your garden year after year.

Growing instructions and plant Images are included on the seed envelope. Seeds are stored in environmental conditions that promote seed life (Dark/Dry/Cool). Plant with Confidence! Review: Great seeds - The seeds were great! No problems with germination. I bought them to feed the critters in our area and in not sure who ate them, the deer, rabbits, birds 🤷‍♀️ but it was a rare day that I managed to get one off the plants 🤣Thanks Review: Ground Cherry - These Ground Cherry seeds are viable. I was able to germinate and grow the seeds in Louisiana. The plants did produce ground cherry fruits.
