What do you need, seeds or plants. I am in Ottawa and my plants are right now burried in foot and a half snow. If you remind me in spring (here in May), I can dig out and send bareroot if that is what you want (I have never collected its seeds).
But why will you want Chines lanterns? I am digging them out because they are invasive and spreading all over. I wish the garden homes inform customers of the invasive nature of such invasive plants.

I used to have a patch for drying the little lanterns look really beatiful in an arrangement or just by themselves with red bows on them

Be careful what you ask for!! You may never get rid of them.
If you want them plant them where you know they cannot spread!!! I tried to get rid of some for FIVE years and gave up - I painted every leaf that came up with Round-up and it still took two years to get rid of them!!!!

I have a package of seeds I received in a round robin. If you are still looking for seed, you are welcome to send me a sase for them. Let me know. Thanks...Heather
