60 seeds. 65 days. Physalis pruinosa. Tender perennial zone 8.
Ground Cherry 'Geltower' is so named as it grows more upright than other ground cherries such as Aunt Molly's. The flavor is sweet with citris undertones. I think it is sweeter than Aunt Molly's, but I would have to do a side by side comparison to be sure. The plants are larger than other ground cherries and quite productive. Geltower has quickly become our favorite ground cherry variety. We bought our original seeds to grow from Farmacie Isolde.
Spacing 24 inches.
Sowing Ground Cherry Seeds:
Start seeds indoors 1/4 inch deep 6–8 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant the seedlings 2 weeks after the last frost date spaced 24 inches apart. Full sun.
