PINK BALLOON FLOWER
Platycodon grandiflorus
SKU: 2059-010
Description
This balloon flower is loaded with vibrant, large pretty-pink flowers in early summer! The plant forms a tidy clump that is very easy to care for. Once the plants are established they are mainly self-sufficient, rarely to never need watering or pampering. Stunning when in full bloom!
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 18"
Location: Sun or part shade. Blooms well in either location.
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Seeds per pack: 15
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination is in 14-60 days after the warming period. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
