Thompson & Morgan Physalis Chinese Lantern Bare Root 3 Pack

Burst onto the scene with vibrant Thompson & Morgan Physalis Chinese Lantern Bare Root 3 Pack that add a cheerful touch to borders and patios from late summer onwards, each one hiding a delicious edible berry inside. You'll find they regrow every year, thriving in moist fertile soil and offering both autumn colour and winter interest as the lanterns transform into intricate skeletons. Compact and easy to grow, these hardy perennials suit pots or garden beds, so we'll see them return season after season with minimal fuss. How to grow: Pot up plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until all risk of frost has passed. When plants are well grown, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over seven to 10 days before transplanting into borders and containers. The herbaceous perennials in this collection can be grown in any moist, fertile soil, in sun or semi shade. Work some compost or general fertiliser into the top 20cm of the soil prior to planting. Grow Chinese lantern plants in any moist, well drained soil, in full sun or semi shade. Feed and water groundcherry plants regularly until plants are fully established. After flowering leave the stems intact to allow the edible fruits to develop.
