Ground Cherry, Aunt Molly's
A fun garden plant to grow. Small orange fruits are encased in a papery husk. Ready to eat when they fall off the plant and the fruits are a deep orange colour. Papery husks are removed when ready to eat or can be left on for storage. Fruits are great for fresh eating, tarts or jam. Sweet, pineapple-like flavour.
