Isn't this variety supposed to be a small shrub? I've been expecting it to grow upward, but so far it's just a groundcover.

I have not grown ground cherries, yet, but remember my grandmother's were low to the ground. They seemed to spread out in every direction. I was pretty young, but they did not grow like a tomato plant from what I remember. Ground cherries are on my list for next year. Just need to find some room!
