Physalis lanceolata aka Sword Groundcherry

Sword Groundcherry’s native range is N. America - South Carolina to Illinois, South Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas and New Mexico.

To ensure optimal growth, the Sword Groundcherry prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
