Chinese Lantern

Physalis alkekengi 'franchetii'

"The Chinese Lantern, `Physalis alkekengi franchetii,' produces bright orange, lantern-shaped, papery seed cases that will simply glow in a garden late in the summer. This plant is especially popular, mostly due to its brilliant color, unique shape and easy to grow capabilities. The seeds should be planted in the spring, one to two weeks before the last average frost, or in the summer up to two months before the first fall frost. The Chinese lantern is a dramatic addition to fall or winter decorations. It will also provide late summer color for borders, beds and containers."
