Growing Instructions:

From February to April, sow Blue Balloon Flower (Platycodon grandiflorus) seeds indoors in seed trays with light, well-drained compost. Seeds require sunshine to sprout, so gently press them into the surface without covering. Germination takes 14 to 21 days; keep at 15 to 20°C. Move seedlings into separate pots as soon as they have two genuine leaves. After the final frost in late spring, gradually harden off and plant outside. Select a location with well-drained soil that receives either full sun or partial shade. These resilient perennials bloom from July to September and frequently come back year after year with little maintenance. Once established, roots don't want to be moved, so don't disrupt them. To extend blooming, deadhead. Their upright habit and eye-catching blue blossoms make them perfect for cottage gardens, rockeries, and borders.
