The Flower That Pops — Literally
Platycodon grandiflorus, the Balloon Flower, is named for its puffy, balloon-shaped buds that dramatically pop open into star-shaped blue-purple blooms. A long-lived, low-maintenance perennial, it returns reliably year after year and puts on a show from midsummer into fall — long after many perennials have finished.

We cannot ship to: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Washington, Oregon, or Mississippi.
We also cannot ship when temperatures at your location are below 40°F or above 85°F. If your area is near the upper range, please be available to receive and unpack your order promptly.
