Physalis franchetti, also known asFranchetti’s Ground Cherry, is a unique and ornamental perennial that stands out for its intriguing orange lantern-like husks that enclose small, edible fruits. The plant produces clusters of delicate, white to pale yellow flowers in late spring to early summer, followed by the distinctive papery husks that mature into bright orange fruits. Its vibrant orange husks create an eye-catching display, making it a great addition to borders, containers, or as a specimen plant in the garden.Physalis franchetti thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that attracts pollinators and adds a touch of the unexpected to garden designs. While the fruits are edible, they are best harvested when fully ripe.

Many garden designers recommend planting Physalis in groups of three for a balanced, cohesive look. It helps the plants stand out together and creates a lovely flow in your garden. But don't worry—this plant also looks great on its own or in smaller groupings!
