How to Sow Chinese Lantern

Sow seeds thinly in sunny outdoor cold frame or seedbed in spring after danger of frost. In the Deep South, Gulf and Pacific Coast areas, sow seeds from fall to spring. Cover the seed with 1/4" of fine soil. Seedlings emerge in 15-20 days depending on soil and weather conditions. Seeds may be started indoors in a sunny location about 6 weeks before outdoor planting time. Keep under lights at 70-75 F.
