Ground Cherry, Aunt Molly's

Availability: In stock (5)

50 seeds

Easy to grow, prolific, and super-sweet, this ground cherry works well for preserves and pies, over ice cream, and in fresh fruit salads, or can simply be eaten straight out of the garden. The plants have a sprawling habit and produce ½-¾" fruits encased in a papery husk that turns brown when the fruits ripen. This beloved variety takes its name from an ice cream stand, named not for a dear aunt, but for a cherished pet dog of the owners of Territorial Seed.
