Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry Seedling

Sweet, tangy, and delightfully unique, Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry is a cherished heirloom variety from Poland known for its golden fruit wrapped in papery husks. With a flavour reminiscent of pineapple and vanilla, these little treasures are perfect for fresh snacking, jams, and pies — a true garden gem that feels almost magical to harvest.

🪴 Plant Details

• Heirloom variety with small, golden-yellow fruits in paper husks
• Sweet tropical flavour — a mix of pineapple, citrus, and vanilla
• High-yielding, compact plants ideal for small gardens or containers

🌿 Companion Planting Tip

Ground Cherries grow beautifully near basil, carrots, and peppers — companions that enhance growth and deter pests. Avoid planting near corn or potatoes, which share diseases with the tomato family. Perfect for raised beds, containers, or tucked among herbs for a sweet surprise at harvest.
