Platycodon grandiflorus ‘Florist Pink’


Balloon Flower

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.425.410


Balloon Flowers are summer-blooming cousins to the more familiar Bellflowers. This selection forms a compact mound of green foliage, bearing inflated buds that open into star-shaped, single, pink blossoms. Remove faded blooms to encourage fresh buds to form. 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.
