Growing Instructions:

Balloon Astra White Platycodon grandiflorus seeds should be sown indoors in seed trays with well-draining compost in early spring (February to March) for optimal results. Since the seeds require light to germinate, lightly cover them. Maintain a temperature of 18–21°C and keep the soil moist. Typically, germination takes two to three weeks. Move seedlings into separate pots after they have grown their second set of leaves. Before planting the young plants in a bright or somewhat shaded location with well-drained soil, harden them off outdoors in the late spring. Conditions that are damp but not soggy are ideal for balloon flowers. Mid- to late-summer (July to September) is when flowers should be expected in the UK. These sturdy perennials will produce beautiful white blossoms to your garden year after year.
