Easy to grow, this Physalis thrives in well-drained, fertile soil. Plant it in full sun to partial shade for abundant flowering and fruiting. Keep the soil moderately moist during growth.

Apply a light mulch in spring to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Ideal for borders, flowerbeds, and autumn gardens, this dwarf Physalis attracts pollinators and beneficial insects. Its decorative lanterns provide prolonged ornamental beauty, bringing charm and visual interest to garden spaces.

DELIVERY

Please note that we offer delivery throughout Quebec only for plants, pots 6'' and under, and accessories (jewelry, candles, plush toys).

Larger items (large plants, bulk items, and others) are available for pickup only and local delivery (45km and less). We are pleased to offer you local delivery for your plant purchases. You can choose between two time slots for delivery: 9 am to 12 pm or 12 pm to 5 pm.

However, please note that in some cases, particularly when we receive large orders requiring longer preparation time, we may not be able to meet the chosen time slot. We make every effort to ensure your plants are delivered the same day, but it is possible that we may sometimes exceed the estimated time.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

*Additional charges may apply for the delivery of large plants and bulk items (e.g., if a 6-wheel or 10-wheel truck is required).

Please note that each plant has its unique character, with the number of leaves and size varying from one specimen to another.
