Tiny creamy-white flowers are followed by fresh green papery lanterns which turn bright red in autumn.
Features: Superb in mixed borders and dried flower displays.
Sowing Guide - Indoors: Sow indoors, for surest results, 0.5cm (1/4") deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse or on a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Seedlings usually apppear in 21-30 days. Transplant individually when large enough to handle to 8cm (3") pots. (Always hold seedlings by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out 45cm (18") apart.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow outdoors thinly in a seed bed, into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2") apart before planting out to flowering position in autumn.
