Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Choose an area with heavy, well-draining soil that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 6-8 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots. If the soil is heavy or clay-like, mix in some sand or compost to improve drainage. Optionally, form rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 2 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage, ensure good airflow, and make harvesting for cut flowers easier. Lay down 1/2"-3/4" peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil, the soil surface. This layer is beneficial for flower seeds because it can the improve the germination environment and prevent soil crusting.

Planting:



Starting Indoors: For earlier blooms, you may optionally start planting indoors in containers 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date in Spring, keeping seedlings at least 65F. Harden off then transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location when temperatures are consistently above 65F. To transplant seedlings, prepare a transplant hole outdoors in a sunny location. Remove the plants carefully from the pots or flats and set them in the transplant holes, burying some of the stem in the ground. Pack the soil loosely around the plant and leave a slightly sunken area around each plant to hold water. Water the plants after transplanting.

Directly Sowing: If directly sowing outdoors, plant after all danger of frost has passed in spring and soil temperatures reach at least 65F. If fall planting in cold climates, sow in containers at least 8-10 weeks before the first expected frost, but bring indoors before the first frost and keep in a bright location.

To plant, make holes 1/4 inch deep and spaced 18-24 inches apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 5 seeds per hole, then cover thinly with soil. In small plots, flower seeds may be scattered and gently watered in. Once seedlings emerge, plants can separated and spaced 18-24 inches apart to allow room for mature plants to spread and prevent overcrowding. Water after planting.



Planting Depth: 1/4 inch
Within-Row Spacing: 18 - 24 inches
Between-Row Spacing: 2-3 feet


Care During the Season:

Chinese Lantern Plants can be maintained by pruning and water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist. As they grow through summer, support may be needed to keep the tall stems upright. Remove weeds to reduce competition and apply a layer of mulch to retain soil moisture. In late summer or early fall, the plant produces its iconic orange lantern-shaped husks. Cut back the stems in late fall after the foliage dies back, leaving a few inches above ground to prepare for winter. These hardy perennials tolerate USDA zones 3 to 9 and can handle cold winters, though adding a layer of mulch in colder regions provides extra root protection. Plants are not edible.

Stable and Easy-to-Use Umbrella Stand
Size: 1-Piece, Color: Black
💧 Water-Filled Design The ability to fill it with water makes it lightweight to move around when empty but very stable and heavy once filled. It holds the umbrella securely without tipping, even on windy days. ⚙️ Build & Compatibility The stand feels sturdy, made from durable plastic, and the black color is neutral and fits well with most outdoor decor. It fits standard umbrella poles nicely, and the tightening mechanism is easy to use and keeps the pole firmly in place. 🚚 Portability & Setup It was easy to set up — just fill with water (or sand if you want extra weight) and insert the umbrella. I like that it’s less heavy than concrete bases but still very effective. ✅ Pros: Lightweight when empty, easy to move Very stable when filled with water Simple to use and adjust Durable plastic design Fits most standard umbrella poles ❌ Cons: Needs regular refilling if you use water (can leak slowly) Plastic may show scratches over time

Avoid at all costs. Rusty and not stable. Confusing customer service.
Size: 1-Piece, Color: Black, Size: 1-Piece, Color: Black
Do not buy!!! Cheap product and bad customer service! The product is rusted upon delivery. It is not stable and will not hold an umbrella rated for 22lb stand upright with water alone. They wanted me to refill the stand and send them pictures of the tilt even though the rust should warrant a full refund with shipping covered, if they were a good company. The company is giving me the run around on a return and conflicting information. They said they I would have to pay for the return, then that they would, then and try keep trying to offer me a discounted rate and charging me shipping. Here is a copy of the communication. They offered $10 telling me that rust is not covered in their warranty, even if it arrived rusty! First message: "After the returned item is delivered to our warehouse with no issue, we will return your amount." Second message: "Generally, rust can be caused by many factors and is not typically covered under our warranty. However, as a valued customer, we’d like to offer you a USD 10 price return if you choose to keep and continue using the base as it is. Please let us know if this solution works for you, and we will process it right away."
