Physalis Alkekengi Var. Franchetii (Large Plant) - 2 Physalis Plants
In 1 Litre Pots

Product Description

Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii, also known as Cape Gooseberry, is a highly unusual & exotic looking plant that provides garden interest throughout the seasons. In midsummer the plant is covered in small creamy&45;white flowers that contrast with the oval green foliage. Later in the year they become full of berries that are inside bright red&45;orange papery calyces that look like Chinese lanterns. If left on the plant over winter the berries, which have been hidden inside, become visible as the calyces slowly skeletonize & end up, on frosty winter days, looking like gilded cages surrounding the berries.

Height: 75cm &40;30&34;&41;. Spread: 90cm &40;36&34;&41;.
