Description:
Balloon
flowers are clump-forming perennials and members of the easy-to-grow Bellflower family of plants although the
blooms do not resemble bells. Instead, puffy, balloon-like buds swell up to
produce the 2- to 3-inch star-shaped flowers. This easy-grower blooms all
summer long with intense blue-violet flowers, but there are also cultivars with
white and pink blooms. Balloon flowers are generally planted in the spring
after the danger of frost has passed, growing quickly to bloom in the first
year.
How
to grow balloon flowers from seed
Start
seeds indoors in the early spring about six to eight weeks before your last
frost using seed starter mix or ordinary potting soil. Barely cover the seeds
with 1/16 inch of soil. Place the container in a warm location until the seeds
germinate. After the weather has warmed, you can transplant the seedlings
outdoors. If you plant seeds directly in your garden, do so after your last
frost date, but know they likely won’t flower in their first year.
