Physalis: A Unique Plant with Decorative Lanterns.

Physalis, commonly known as Chinese lantern or Cape gooseberry, is a captivating plant that brings a touch of the unusual to the garden. Its standout feature is the delicate, papery husks that encase its fruits, resembling little orange lanterns that dangle elegantly from the stems. These lanterns start green and turn vibrant orange as they mature, adding both colour and a sculptural quality to borders and beds. For gardeners looking for a plant with a distinctive appearance, Physalis is a charming choice that brings a unique ornamental touch.

Tough, Versatile, and Low-Care.

Physalis is a hardy and versatile perennial that thrives in well-drained soil and enjoys full sun or partial shade. It’s a resilient plant that requires minimal care, making it ideal for gardeners who appreciate a low-maintenance addition. Physalis can spread in ideal conditions, so it’s best planted where it has room to naturalise or in a contained area to control its growth. With just a little bit of space and sunshine, Physalis will reward with its enchanting lanterns that last from late summer into autumn.

Edible Fruit and Wildlife Benefits.

Beyond its ornamental appeal, Physalis produces small, edible fruits within its lanterns, offering a sweet and tangy flavour that’s wonderful in jams, desserts, or even eaten fresh. The fruits attract pollinators like bees and butterflies during the flowering stage, supporting local wildlife. As autumn progresses, birds are also drawn to the ripe berries, adding life and movement to the garden. For gardeners wanting a plant that combines visual interest, culinary value, and wildlife support, Physalis is a delightful and versatile addition to any garden.
