Chinese Laterns ( Physalis Alkekengi )
There are lanterns hanging all around the garden in fall. The Chinese Lantern (Physalis alkekengi), an old garden perennial, adds a pop of color to the perennial bed with its cordate sinuate sepals in a bright shade of orange-red. The plant is part of the Physalis genus (Greek for “bladder”), a nightshade (Solanaceae). Its name refers to the genus’ common characteristic: the striking sepals that form around the mature fruit. These are also popular in floristry.
