Platycodon grandiflorus 'Blue', commonly known as Balloon Flower, is an enchanting perennial renowned for its unusual balloon-shaped buds that unfurl into striking, star-shaped blue flowers. Blooming from mid to late summer, these vivid blossoms sit atop sturdy, upright stems adorned with lance-shaped, green foliage. Perfect for adding color and charm to borders, cottage gardens, or containers, this variety thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, 'Blue' Balloon Flower attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its long-lasting, eye-catching blooms also make excellent additions to fresh-cut flower arrangements.

Many garden designers recommend planting Platycodon in groups of three for a balanced, cohesive look. It helps the plants stand out together and creates a lovely flow in your garden. But don't worry—this plant also looks great on its own or in smaller groupings!
