Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry
Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry
Ground cherries are neither tomatillo or tomato - they are their own breed. With a sweet and almost tropical flavor, Aunt Molly's Ground Cherry is a must for those who crave sweets from the garden that aren't perennials. The fruit is great for baked pies or jam, just make sure to remove the husk before prepping.
Also totally unrelated but they make great cat toys, too.

About Tomorrow's Garden Seeds
Seeds are open-pollinated, so there is a very small chance of cross-hybrid variety with other plants we grow here at Tomorrow's Gardens. Parent plants are grown and seeds are harvested on our farm in Mint Hill, North Carolina (Zone 8a). All plants are grown with organic practices.
