AnnualIndeterminate - This Polish heirloom is as sweet as candy! The groundcherry is sweet, tart, and savory. A combination of flavors from a tomatillo to slight pineapple is the best of both worlds. Plants produce heavy yields of small husk-covered fruits that fall to the ground at full ripeness. Because of their high pectin content, they are perfect for making jellies, jams, sauces, preserves, and so much more.
First time with ground cherry seeds and didn't get a single sprout. I had some from another company too that also didn't sprout, so I think this could have been user error somehow. Started them in greenhouse, but maybe they are better direct sown? I don't know, but I'll keep trying
Sprouted quickly
I have fond memories of these in my mother's garden and was so excited to find seeds
Seeds germinated well
I absolutely love these ground cherries, or as we call them “garden candy”. Not only do they do really well in my zone (NC zone 8a) but they are super prolific. They volunteer in my garden every year and are so sweet and tasty. Fun fact: they are a wonderful trap crop for pickle worms. I have not had any issues with pickle worms over the last few years that I’ve been growing these because they love them so much. It’s great that they pop up all over the garden so that I can still harvest some for us.

Very happy with my purchase. I planted 40 seeds and they all germinated! Felt like I ran the lottery. Haven’t had a harvest yet but they are growing well. Already knee high. Very happy with my purchase
This is my second year ordering the bare root strawberry plants, and I will say these are the healthiest plant starts!! I will order again
I loved my Chandler Blueberries. I have had it for a year now. As a beginner blueberry grower, I loved how easily it is to maintain the plant in its healthy state. I live in Zone 7. It lived through its first winter snow, and sprouted back up in Spring, just shows how cold-hardy it can be. It is now slowly blooming. Hopefully in the next few years it will produce me some juicy blueberries!
Not so great raw, but awesome sautéed and in soups! Grows great in warm climate. It takes a while to get started, but once it takes off, it doesn't stop! Very easy for new gardeners ❣️
Once the bare root arrived, I immediately saw a sprout growing from the tip. I was pleasantly surprised it had gone out of dormancy. It is currently growing healthy green foliage outside in part shade and full sun. I see a few grape clusters though unfortunately I have to cut them, so the plant’s roots fully establish.
