Looking for a beloved perennial flower that's sure to delight? Look no further than the ivory balloon flower! This Platycodon variety is a favorite among gardeners, with its balloon-shaped blossoms that transform into a unique star shape in the summer sun. Each plant averages 20 inches tall, with its own small galaxy of white stars that are larger than traditional balloon flowers.
These plants are easy to grow and care for. Provide 6-8 hours of sun per day, and keep the temperature between 65-70 degrees F. Sprouts should emerge in just 10-30 days. Once they're established, space the plants 12-18 inches apart. And don't worry about frost – these plants are hardy in zones 3-9.
To get started, sow the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or directly sow them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Simply surface sow the seeds by lightly pressing them into the soil; do not cover. And avoid disturbing the roots once they're established.
Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, the ivory balloon flower is sure to add beauty and interest to your garden.
