Physalis peruviana L (Ground Cherry) http://www.durgan.org/URL/?PPeruviana 20 April 2009 Physalis peruviana L Ground Cherry This plant was grown in 2008. It was found to require warm temperatures, and is relatively slow growing compared to the Physalis pruinosa ( Aunt Molly Ground Cherry). The fruit tends to stay on the stems of the plant when ripe, which is a plus. The fruit is large about the size of a good sized cherry, and probably a third larger than the Physalis pruinosa. The plant require about a 3 to 4 foot cube space for growing, so I grow three or four plants.
