Hi All, I'm a new gardener and brand-new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone knew the name of this plant, as I'd like to get some more!

start growing early summer, and flower in late summer into a yellow bulb sort of shape, and gradually change through orange and then as shown in the photo, dark red by about november.



Anyone know? Thanks


Physalis alkekengi (franchetii)
