Cape Gooseberry "PHYSALIS peruviana" 50 Seeds
 
Cape Gooseberry Golden Nugget.
 
 
Small orange fruit similar in size and shape to a cherry tomato.
 
 
The fruit is covered in papery husk. Flavour is a pleasant, unique tomato/pineapple like blend. Small shrub similar to the common tomato can be grown as an annual or perennial. Plants are usually small, only 30-90 cm (1-3ft) in height.
Plants enjoy full sun, fairly warm (but not hot) temperatures, and protection from frost. In areas where frost or freezes occur, plants are easily grown as annuals. Provide lots of water throughout the growing year, except towards fruit ripening time. Grow in most soil types and will do very well in poor soils and in pots.
 
 
Can be eaten raw, used in salads, desserts, as flavouring, and in jams and jellies. Fruits are excellent when dipped in chocolate, and can be dried and eaten.
 
 
This Packet  contains 50 very fresh .
 
Care and propagation notes included.
