Note: Protect from frost (can be grown indoors) Welcome! Here on offer is a four pack of healthy Physalis Peruviana (Chinese Lantern) plants, grown by me in a polytunnel on the Isle of Wight. Each plant is between 10 to 15cm tall and growing fast. *** Physalis is a genus of plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), native to warm temperate and subtropical regions throughout the world. The genus is characterised by the small orange fruit similar in size, shape and structure to a small tomato, but partly or fully enclosed in a large papery husk derived from the calyx. Many Physalis species are called groundcherries. One name for Physalis peruviana is Cape Gooseberry, not to be confused with the true gooseberries, which are of the genus Ribes in the family Grossulariaceae. The berry also goes by the names Golden Strawberry or Chinese Lantern.*** Each item will be posted in a 7cm pot and will need planting right away. Thank for visiting. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask :) |
