Seed Savers Dulce De La Tierra Ground Cherry

Heirloom, Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated, Organic.
Growing Instructions: Ground cherries grow best when started indoors and transplanted.
- Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost in spring.
- Germination: 14–28 days.
- Plant seeds 1/4” deep in warm, moist soil.
- Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them at least 2’ apart in rich, well-draining soil.
- Light: Full sun
- Keep soil consistently moist to prevent the fruit from splitting.
