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.

Soft Leather. Fits all my cards.
Color: Ingram Brown
I like the feel of the leather and it’s wearing in nicely. Some of the stitching on the inner liner has worn after taking cards in and out. Happy so far with my purchase.

Look nice
Color: Hayes Brown, Color: Hayes Brown
“I recently purchased a Fossil wallet, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The leather feels premium and durable, and the stitching is precise, adding to its overall quality. It’s the perfect size to fit in my pocket comfortably while still offering plenty of room for cards, cash, and even coins. I love the sleek and timeless design that matches both casual and formal outfits. Fossil truly delivers on craftsmanship and style. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish wallet!”

Buy it, will not be sorry
Color: Ingram Brown
Had previously ordered a Dockers Trifold after having two in the past, it fell apart within a couple weeks. This Fossil wallet, on the other hand, is VERY nice. Very happy with my new wallet, worth the extra $15-20

Only wallet I've owned for 40+ years, I expect this 3rd one to last another 20 years
Color: Ingram Brown
This is the second wallet I ever bought after the original wallet given to me by my father wore out. I love the trifold wallet and this one has been perfect for me. It's made of all leather which is key to long life. All my wrangler jeans have a faded outline on the right front pocket where I carry it. It has multiple slips for my many credit cards, grocery reward cards, insurance cards, business cards, driver license and passport card. There are some pockets behind those for my library card (I seldom need it since I know the number by heart) and my America the Beautiful pass which I only need when I visit a national park. The only complaint still remains from the first version and is that the pockets are about 1 mm to skinny on a new wallet. Maybe that's a good thing so everything doesn't fall out when I open it up to use it. I'm highly partial and highly surprised this wallet is still being made. I'm looking forward to buying another one in 20 years.
