Question

little orange paperlike bulbs

Answer 1

This plant is call Chinese Lanterns. The seeds are in the paper like lantern, break it apart and open the little round seed ball. Use regular potting soil for container grown plants or grow them in the garden. Take the seed and lay them on top of the soil, sprinkle alittle soil on top, gently water the soil and keep it damp until you see green, then back off the watering, and transplant your seedling to more pots or in the garden. The prefer warm sunny areas but will tolerate light shade, it's hardy even in cold areas. Use a high-phosphorus fertilizer{the kind you use for tomatoes}, When you plants get bigger, you can dig them up and divide them. Happy Planting!!!!!!!!!
