• Exceptionally drought-tolerant and heat-loving; it thrives in full sun and well-drained, even poor or sandy, soil.

• Forms an upright, branching shrub (2-4 feet) with velvety grey-green leaves and small, bell-shaped, greenish-yellow flowers.

• Develops attractive, bright orange-red berries (inedible) hidden inside a papery, lantern-like husk, similar to a tomatillo.
