Ellen, you can get seeds from several places, but I found mine from UprisingOrganics.com. They are under the tomato category, and then under relatives. Territorial Seeds also has them. I have some started on my kitchen counter right now.

Interesting topic and happy to see comment by Dorene about having grown them in the past, but, do you know, where to get seeds? Thanks!

My PA Dutch grandfather grew these and we made jam and pies from the ground cherries. When I had a garden, I always grew them because the plants produce well and the fruit freezes nicely to make pies in the winter.

I had heard of ground cherries before but didn’t realize that it was just another name for physalis until a year ago. The bargain book cookbook series at Borders always shows them dipped in white chocolate and decorating desserts.

I’d never heard of these either, Amanda, until a couple weeks ago. We were visiting a friend who had some and suggested we try them. Interesting flavor!
