one version is the worst weed i ever ran across... 10 years of killing it in spring.. and i still have sprouting seed ... so make sure which version you have.. long before it seeds .. and if you didnt plant it.. and its a rogue seedling... that might tell you all you need to know ... i am noting your media .... or is that native soil???? i see you figured out the HTML code for this post ... ken

Going by the bright orange lantern it looks like the perennial species P alkekengi to me, NOT edible and with widely spreading rhizomes. Is it just one or two lantwrns or a whole patch?

mine are.. but i wont mention it .. lol ... you know.. my season is about 5 months.. yours 8 or 9 ... wonder if mine just dont get mature enough ... hmmmmm ... there is always the problem that i let some 3rd party mess with them ... cant really verify she did it all right .... ken

I love ZZ plants. Super easy to care for, and a good low light plant. Just don't overwater.
