Unique seedpods are the real stars of this perennial show.
Highly ornamental and eye catching, to boot, this perennial produces a bounty of small, white flowers in midsummer. But the real show begins later when charming inflated seedpods appear. Bright orange to red pods add a bold touch to containers, borders and presentation gardens. Fast growing and quite unique.Physalis alkekengi
