lantern

I have grown it in the past I allways thought it grew fairly fast

did for my father! but not for me!

Thanks. Is it a type of herb? I got the picture from a herb garden but
I couldn't find its sign/label.

Do you know know the rest?

Thanks!

My father grew them and used them for winter decoration, he used to have to
dig a bit up every year to slow the spread! when I moved I took some, but
they didn't like their new home!!

Inside the 'lantern' is a small orange edible fruit, sharp tasting , some
restaurants use them as an edible 'aside'
