Sometimes known as Strawberry Ground Cherry, our Chinese Lantern features delicate flowers with the tell-tale orange seed pod that looks like a glowing orange lantern. As it can be aggressive, many gardeners recommend confining its growth. The pods dry well and are excellent in dried floral arrangements. Harvest in about 60 days. Germination rate is about 70%.

The ripe fruits are edible and are higher in vitamin C than lemons. All other parts of the plant are poisonous. Do not eat any other part of this plant.

Our Non-GMO seeds are sustainable. Our packaging is environmentally friendly, climate friendly, reusable, and recyclable. David’s Garden Seeds is a Veteran owned business that has been offering quality seeds since 2009. Seeds packed for 2023 in the great state of Texas, USA. Order today!

We recommend you check with experts (like your County Extension Agent) in your area for the best growing practices before you plant.
