Description
Papery orange lantern-shaped blossoms appear in late summer folllowing a late spring bloom of tiny white flowers. Chinese lantern spreads rapidly; consider planting it in a contained area.
Sow in a location with full sun, or light shade in hot areas. Start indoors eight weeks before last frost date. Seeds require some light to germinate. Keep young plants evenly moist and well weeded. Plants are slow to break dormancy in warm climates. Plants spread by underground runners. Cut off runners in early spring to keep growth contained.
