Chinese Lantern
Physalis alkekengi
Amour en Cage Chinese Lantern is a striking perennial valued for its bright orange, papery calyces that encase small berries, creating a lantern-like effect in late summer and fall.
About Chinese Lantern and growing it in Alberta
Midsummer white flowers and lush green foliage provide a lovely backdrop for the lanterns, which are popular in dried arrangements. Thriving in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil, it is adaptable but vigorous and can become invasive. Monitor for aphids, leaf miners, and rust to maintain plant health.
