Coastal Ground cherry - Physalis angustifolia (1 Gal)

Coastal Ground Cherry (Physalis angustifolia) is a versatile herbaceous perennial producing yellow to orange berries resembling tomatillos. While visually appealing, these fruits are only safe to consume when fully ripe, as unripe berries are toxic. A member of the nightshade family, Coastal Ground Cherry thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-drained soils ranging from sand to loam or clay. Beyond its striking berries, this plant serves as a larval host for the Subflexus Straw moth, making it a valuable addition to gardens that support native wildlife. With its unique features and ecological benefits, it’s sure to stand out in any landscape.
