Edible physalis plants- (Costessey NR8)
Gifted
Take all or can divide into 3 clumps, 30 or so nice strong seedlings in each clump. Need pricking out and growing on. I grow them outside after frosts gone, but anyone with a polytunnel/greenhouse could get much better results. I find this variety pleasantly sharp, but also good for drying which as well as storing will also concentrate the sugars.
