Known by many names, these sweet peachy fruits enclosed in a husk tantalize the taste buds. The name Ground Cherry refers to the fact that the ripe fruits fall to the ground for easy collection. This variety grows close the ground and produces early and prolific yields. Sow seeds at the same time as tomatoes.

Purple variety with fruits 1-2 inches. Tangy flavor great in green salsas. Purple color indicates maturity. With time, they become more seedy but sweeter for eating raw. Prolific. We plant this from seed directly in garden soil June 1 and still get a great yield.

Physalis ixocarpa

These classic green tomatillos are borne on sprawling plants that produce vast amounts of green fruits covered in papery husks. They have a unique sweet and tangy flavor. Use the fruits in green salsas combined with onions, garlic, etc. Be aware, these plants have a reputation of volunteering for years after the original planting. Personally, we think that is a great thing! Adapted to grow in a wide range of climates but will handle a lot more heat than tomatoes.
