    $8.50

    Cape Gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) is a tender perennial (often grown as an annual) in the nightshade family (Solanaceae). It prefers full sun, free-draining soil, and shelter from frost, and in New Zealand it is best grown as a summer annual except in frost-free areas. Plants grow 60–90 cm tall and up to 1 m wide, with papery lantern husks holding golden-orange, tangy-sweet berries. A culinary favourite, eaten fresh, dried, or in jams, sauces, and desserts; a medicinal plant traditionally used for immune and anti-inflammatory support; a cottage garden novelty with its lantern-like husks; and a pollinator-friendly crop, attracting bees to its small yellow flowers.
