This is a large strain of Chinese lanterns produce tiny, creamy-white flowers from July to August followed by bright orange-scarlet berries enclosed by large papery, red lanterns. Perfect for providing autumn interest in well-drained areas of the garden. The papery lanterns make wonderful dried flower arrangements. To prevent them from becoming invasive like mint, leave space around them to manage the plants or keep in containers. We just dig them out from where we don't need them but no big problem to control. Good for sunny well drained positions.
