Related to the tomato family, Cape gooseberries have leaves that look like hearts and flowers that look like bells, which form a “bladder” over the fruit as it develops. Once matured, the fruit forms a straw-like husk. Thrives in full sun and needs protection from frost.

Plants will handle periods of drought but too much moisture could encourage fungal problems. Pinch out new shoots to encourage bushy growth. Prune back hard in Spring.
