Balloon Flower (Platycodon grandiflorus) Easy-to-grow from flower seed, Balloon Flowers are an old-fashioned favorite, and they are as lovely in the garden as they are in the vase. This flower has unique star-shaped blue blossoms, and it blooms late summer and into the fall. Platycodon Grandiflorus has been around forever. The buds form like balloons and then grow until the right time to pop open and form the lovely star-shaped flower. Balloon Flower plants are very hardy perennials that can withstand periods of drought, and they are rarely bothered by disease or insect problems making them virtually a maintenance-free perennial.
A perennial plant 10-20 cm in height. Flowers are 2-6 cm and have multi-layered snow-white petals with a bright yellow button centre. Sow seeds for seedlings in May-June, transplanted to a permanent place in the fall. Abundant and friendly flowering of daisies occurs next year from May to August. It grows well in sunny places and in partial shade. Used for decoration of balconies, terraces, flower beds, and lawns.
