Zone:  3-9
Height:  60-75 cm (24-30 in)
Spread:  60-90 cm (2-3 ft)
Bloom:  Small cream flowers in summer... but the MAIN SHOW is in the fall...
Fruit:  A brilliant orange "berry" (edible) is enclosed in a brilliant orange calyx that has the shape of a lantern.  This calyx (poisonous) gradually loses it's orange substance but maintains its shape and becomes an airy network in the fall with the bright orange berry hanging inside.
Foliage:  Medium to bright green; deciduous
Light:  Full sun to part shade
Water:  Moderate
Soil:  Not rich, moist but well-drained
Garden Location:  Best as a lone planting where this gradually spreading plant (underground rhizomes) can be controlled to form a colony the size you wish.  [Note:  This selected variety is much less agressive than the species.] Makes a great cut ornamental.
