Description
Balloon flower seed is truly an unique flower. This flower has unique blue blossoms resembling an umbrella and once it is established in the garden, this long-living plant increases its blooming season as it ages. It is a very hardy perennial that can withstand periods of drought. Balloon flower seed is one of the last perennials to come up in the spring, so you need to be patient in waiting for it to pop through the ground. These flower seeds require sunlight to germinate, so do not cover the flower seed with soil. Just lightly pat them into the soil so good contact is made and water lightly. Germination should occur in 2 – 3 weeks.
- Balloon Flower Blue grows as a hardy perennial in USDA Zones: 4 – 9 and thrives in full sun to partial shade areas.
- Platycodon Grandiflorus is low maintenance and reaches a height of 18 inches tall with dark blue blooms in late spring to summer.
- These heirloom flowers are also drought tolerant and make a wonderful garden or cut flower.
- Sow at 4 seeds per plant in well-drained soil and keep moist until germination occurs in 14 – 21 days.
- Our seeds are always Non-GMO and packaged for the current year.
