Ground Cherry Seeds

With these ground Cherry seeds, you grow an exceptionally productive and low-growing pineapple cherry that starts bearing fruit early. The fruits are ripe for harvesting as soon as the lanterns fall off the plant.

Ground cherry is a fun and delicious fruit to grow in your (vegetable) garden. This exotic fruit originates from Peru and Mexico, but is now grown in many other countries. It is also possible to grow in our climate, but you need to sow early, give the plant a sunny and sheltered spot and be lucky with the weather.

It is a cheerful plant for the vegetable garden with its cute, first green and later yellow/orange husks that look like lanterns. Inside these husks, the fruits form, which are yellow/orange berries. When the husk is dried out and falls off the bush, the fruit is ripe.
