Physalis Alkekengi - 'Chinese Lantern'
Physalis alkekengi: famous for its glowing orange “lantern” seed pods that light up autumn borders and dried arrangements. A hardy perennial that brings structure, colour, and a touch of magic to the garden year after year.
Plant Care
Position: full sun to part shade in fertile, well-drained soil – perfect for borders, cottage gardens, and cutting beds
Hardiness: fully hardy deciduous perennial in the UK (down to -20°C or lower)
Hot Tips: spreads by rhizomes – give it space or contain roots in pots. Cut stems in late summer for drying before the lanterns fully fade. Deadhead if you want to reduce self-seeding.
