I was given some chinese lantern seeds, but don't have any room to plant them.

Happy to post them on to anyone who wants them.

Physalis (sp??) are Chinese lanterns. As far as I know these are ornamental ones not edible. Or I might be wrong...

Both of the commonly grown species produce edible(?) fruits and are grown as decorative plants too.

OK - I have two takers, so I'll split them (I think there's about 50). :0)

Hi, posted yesterday, in placcy bags as I'm out of envelopes.

I don't have any specific advice over growing, but apparently you sow spring or summer and keep at 15 degreen for 3-4 weeks.
