10 x Chinese lantern seeds

Chinese Lantern (Physalis alkekengi) is a distinctive ornamental plant valued for its bright orange, lantern-shaped seed pods that appear in late summer and autumn. Often grown for dried arrangements and garden interest, this hardy plant adds unique texture and colour long after flowering has finished.

Unique Qualities:

  • Bright orange, lantern-like seed pods

  • Excellent for dried floral arrangements

  • Hardy and long-lived perennial

  • Adds autumn interest to the garden

Growing Season: Chinese Lantern is best planted in spring after the risk of frost has passed. It prefers full sun to light shade and well-drained soil. Once established, it is relatively low maintenance, though it can spread and benefits from some containment.

Time to Maturity: Lantern pods typically develop 70-90 days after flowering. Plants flower in early to mid-summer, with the decorative lanterns forming and colouring up as autumn approaches.
