A hard to find physalis said to have a pineapple flavor

Physalis pubescent is a semi-perennial creeping plant. It is a variety that produces earlier than sweet yellow alkékenge (very abundant harvest, from August in a normal year) and the fruits are tastier (pineapple flavor).

Scientific Name: Physalis sp.

Plant Life Cycle: annual

Optimal Germination Temperature: 24C-28C

Germination time in days: 8 -10 days

Indicative Days to maturity: 76 Days

Sunlight: Full sun

Soil requirement: well drained and rich.

Sowing and cultivation: Start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before your last frost. Place your seeds on top of the soil and then cover lightly with a thin layer of soil, about 6 mm deep. Pat soil gently. Water after planting seeds. Keep soil moist. Please note that ground cherries have a low germination rate so it is advised to sow more than you need. They also do not like overwatering. When the plants are established, thin them and give them about 2 square feet to spread. If you choose to direct sow, plant seeds after your last frost. Space the plants 90 cm apart in rows 90 to 120 cm feet apart
