Physalis alkekengi (Chinese Lantern)

Looking really healthy ... have sent you a PM. :o)

Thanks Shirley and for the message.

Looks lovely Dawn, bit near the edge though for John on his mower lol ;-)

I'm so envious Dawn I've tried growing this but have never yet had a ' Lantern ' what am I doing wrong :o(

Too right Kathy. He has run over the bottom lol. Hi Amy, mine grows in not particularly good soil. Once it gets going it spreads nicely. I don't know, sorry. I can send you some to try again.

Thanks Homebird :)

A lovely view of your garden Dawn....

Isn't that great? It looks so natural growing there. Very pretty seasonal colours! :)

Maybe thats it Dawn I'll see if I can find a piece I know where it was planted and re-plant it in the hard core gravel drive Lol ...

Thanks DD. Hi Karen, probably looks natural because it was kind of plonked there many years ago, its is very tall this year for some reason.
Yes Amy, keep them keen, treat them mean :-)

I had some of these in the garden when we lived down the road. They spread wide and far but in the Autumn were a real show. Lovely picture.

Thanks Lincs, they do have spreading roots don't they but never a problem here.
