PHYSALIS alkekengi franchetii - 2L pot

Physalis alkekengi var. franchetii, commonly known as Chinese Lantern, is a hardy perennial celebrated for its vibrant orange-red, papery husks that encase small edible berries. These distinctive lantern-like calyces appear in late summer and persist into autumn, adding striking color to gardens and making excellent dried decorations. The plant features ovate green leaves and small, creamy-white flowers in summer. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Due to its spreading nature, it's advisable to grow it in containers or control its spread in garden beds.
