{"product_id":"seed-chinese-lantern","title":"Botanical Interests Chinese Lantern Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChinese lantern, also known as winter cherry, is a very popular plant for dried arrangements, and for good reasons—brilliant color, unique shape, easy to grow, and long-lasting. A striking backdrop to fall\/winter decorations, as well as late summer color for borders, beds, and containers. Though perennial in USDA zones 3–9, it is often grown as an annual because it heartily spreads by self-sowing or by underground roots. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaution: Most parts of this plant are toxic if ingested.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Sow Outside:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1 to 2 weeks before your average last frost date, or in summer up to 2 months before your average first fall frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to Start Inside:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before your average last frost date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDays to Emerge:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e20–25 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e⅛\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Spacing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eA group of 3 seeds every 12\"–18\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThinning:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWhen 4\" tall, thin to 12\"–18\" apart\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests-Epic Gardening","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40301738721414,"sku":"BI-1186","price":2.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1811\/2867\/files\/botanical-interests-chinese-lantern-seeds.jpg?v=1769707497","url":"https:\/\/chaletnursery.com\/products\/seed-chinese-lantern","provider":"Chalet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
