Explore our full range of Gooseberry seeds and Ground Cherry seeds, including the delicious Cape Gooseberry, Aunt Molly’s, Cossack Pineapple, and other varieties.

Did you know Cape gooseberries are a type of ground cherry and in fact not a gooseberry at all? Ground cherries are part of the Solanaceae family, which is the nightshade family. They are in the Physalis genus and contain several species. All Ground Cherries have a papery husk growing around the cherry itself.

Gooseberries on the other hand, are part of the Grossulariaceae plant family, which includes true gooseberries that have spines, and currants, which are spineless. These plants perform best in climates with humid summers and cold winters.

Experience the unique flavor of ground cherries and gooseberries, by planting them in your South African garden. These easy-to-grow plants produce sweet, golden fruits perfect for snacking or preserves. Ideal for small gardens, balconies, or backyard orchards, ground cherry seeds ensure healthy plants with abundant yields.
