Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry is a sweet, golden treasure for home gardeners. This heirloom variety produces small, husk-covered berries on bushy plants that grow up to 2 feet tall, making it a great choice for raised beds, containers, or traditional garden spaces. The berries have a tropical, pineapple-like flavor that’s perfect for snacking fresh, baking into pies, or making jams and preserves. Fruits are best harvested after they naturally drop to the ground and ripen—making them easy and fun to gather. This self-seeding annual thrives in USDA zones 5 through 9 and matures in just 70 to 80 days, providing a quick and rewarding harvest the same season you plant.

Germination takes 14 to 30 days, and plants grow well in full sun or partial shade with moderate watering.
