Platycodon grandiflorus – Fuji Pink Balloon Flower
SKU: n/a.$14.99
Entertain yourself and your garden admirers with Fuji Pink Balloon Flower, Platycondon grandiflorus. A long-time favorite variety, its fun buds swell into plump balloon-like orbs and then pop open to reveal star-shaped pink blossoms. Long blooming, you can expect to see its beautiful blossoms throughout summer. Plants grow 2′ tall. One of the last perennials to emerge in spring. Deer resistant and drought tolerant.
Enjoy Fuji Pink Balloon Flower in perennial, cutting, and cottage gardens. It works great in mixed informal gardens, as well as more formal settings. Wonderful in containers. Its long stems make it a beautiful cut flower. One of the last perennials to emerge in spring. Easy to grow and long-lived. To get the best flower color, give the plant a break from the hot afternoon sun.
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Put good thought into site location, the plant has long roots that make it difficult to move. Cut the plant back to the ground after the first hard frost. Although drought tolerant, for best results water well when the plant is getting established, when it is setting up buds and blooming.
