Description

Ground cherries thrive in Alabama heat and sprawl wide, so give each plant room or a low cage to keep the fruit off wet soil. The berries drop when ripe, which is exactly how you know to pick them; simply collect them from beneath the plant every couple of days. Mulching underneath keeps the fallen fruit clean, and a single plant will happily reseed itself in the same bed next year. Shipped in a 4" Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.
Specifications
  • Mature size: 18-24 in tall, 30-36 in wide
  • Grows best: Outdoors - Grown as an annual in all zones
  • Pet safety: Foliage toxic to pets if ingested; fruit is safe
  • Sourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.
Care Instructions
  • Light: Full sun, 8 hours
  • Water: 1 in per week, moderate
  • Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile loam with a pH of 6.0-6.8; overly rich soil grows leaves instead of fruit.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly at planting and once at fruit set, keeping nitrogen modest for the best berry production.

Shipping & Returns

Shipping Policy Everything at Wade Greens is grown and packed by hand at our farm and nursery in Lineville, Alabama. How an order travels depends on what's in it.

Where we ship Plants, trees, bulbs, and merchandise ship anywhere in the lower 48 United States — houseplants, succulents, garden plants, saplings, flower bulbs, and apparel. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, or international addresses.
Fresh produce, microgreens, and cut flowers are available for local delivery and pickup in Alabama only. Because these items are perishable and picked at peak freshness, we do not ship them outside Alabama. You'll find our fresh items at local farmers markets and through local delivery and farm pickup.

Processing & handling
Orders are prepared fresh, so please allow 1–3 business days for us to pack and dispatch. Live plants and perishable items ship early in the week whenever possible to avoid sitting in transit over a weekend. You'll receive tracking by email as soon as your order is on its way.

Live plants & perishable items
Our plants are living things and are packed with care to travel safely. Minor leaf drop or a little travel stress is normal and typically resolves within a week or two of settling in. If a plant arrives damaged, email us within 48 hours of delivery with a photo and we'll make it right. Fresh produce, microgreens, and cut flowers are best enjoyed soon after delivery or pickup — please refrigerate on arrival.

Local delivery & pickup
Local Alabama customers can choose delivery or farm pickup at checkout on eligible items. We'll reach out to coordinate a time. Pickup is at our Lineville, Alabama farm.

Email support@wadegreens.com and we'll help however we can.
