Platycodon grandiflorus ‘Fairy Snow’
Plant number: 1.425.200Balloon Flowers are summer-flowering cousins to the more familiar Bellflowers. Plants form a compact mound of green foliage, bearing inflated buds that pop open into white stars, with dark-blue line down the middle of each petal. This dwarf selection is great for edging, also nice in containers. Because they come up very late in the spring, consider planting tulips or daffodils beside the clump to mark the location. Division is seldom necessary, and not always very successful because of the carrot-like root. Long-lived, but dislikes being moved once established. Further details for |
