Description

Cape Gooseberry - Dwarf - 100 Seeds

Physalis peruviana

A dwarf version of the standard Cape Gooseberry growing up to 90cm in height. Produces a tasty small round berry, yellow-orange in colour. 

Delicious raw, also as part of a mixed fruit salad or cooked for flans and tarts. If kept cool and dry, ripe fruits will store in their husks for several weeks. 

This is a vigorous, spreading plant bearing golden-orange fruit that conveniently grows inside, easy to peel, paper-like husks. These are delicious, and they are great when dipped into melted chocolate. 

This plant is related to the Tomato and grows in the same places and in the same manner. It is a native of South America. The fruit is encased in a husk that disintegrates as it ripens. The marble-sized fruit is lovely when eaten straight from the vine and makes excellent pies or can be used for jams etc.

WA order dispatch time: 

WA orders are packed once a week on Wednesday and shipped out on Thursday. To ensure that your orders are processed and shipped out each Thursday, please place them before midnight (AEDT - Sydney time) on Tuesday. This applies no matter whether Express Post service is chosen for the order.

WA orders go to the Quarantine WA office at Perth Airport for inspection before being sent to your shipping address by the Quarantine Officers. Your tracking number will be activated once the inspection is complete, which may take up to 10 business days after we have packed and dispatched your order.

The tracking number will stay in a 'Pending' status until Quarantine Officers have inspected your shipment at Perth Airport.

Depending on the postal service you pay for the order, it will generally take an additional 1 to 5 business days for your shipment to arrive from Perth Airport to your address within WA. However, please note that delays beyond our control may occasionally occur. 

Signature on delivery: An additional $3.95 applies if you require a signature on delivery service. If you haven't requested a signature, the postie or courier driver will check for a safe place or letterbox (if it fits) to leave your item. They may take it to the Post Office or nearest collection point for mail order collection if a safe place can't be found.

However, postage costs remain the same, i.e. there won't be any discount on the postage costs - so check out our postage rate table to find out exactly how much it will cost before you stock up on your favourites!

You shall receive an email notification with a tracking number as soon as your order has been dispatched. We dispatch ALL seed orders via Australia Post or Courier Service with a tracking for a peace of mind.

Cape Gooseberry

Planted the seeds a few weeks ago and have sprouted the germination rate is impressive. Can’t wait until I can try the fruit.

Delightful plant

The seeds germinated well and grew a couple of fruits in a small pot, when transplanted to a large pot grew very quickly, producing lots of fruits. It does require trimming of leaves to keep the bush from becoming too big. Quite an easy plant to grow.

Cape Gooseberry

I ordered the seeds online and received them quickly. They are now growing and hopefully they will produce some fruits. Thank you for your service.
