Great for the sunny border or for cutting! Big White "Balloons" on Tall, Ultra-Hardy Plants! 25- to 30-inch plants bloom in summer. Cheery white stars all summer long are gorgeous in the garden or vase! This exceptionally tall variety reaches 25 to 30 inches in the garden, with blooms on long, elegant stems. A great choice for cut flowers, it contrasts nicely with the blues of most Balloon Flowers.

As colorful as an annual, Platycodon is actually quite hardy and long-lived, increasing the length of its bloomtime for several years after becoming established in the garden. Before the blooms open, the waxy buds have an intriguing puffed-up appearance with little creases, exactly like a balloon or umbrella! Excellent for garden or vase, they flourish in the sunny garden.
