Balloon Flower

Description

Balloon Flower – #1 Pot

Balloon Flower is a hardy perennial that adds charm and lasting colour to the summer garden with its unique balloon-shaped flower buds that open into beautiful star-shaped blooms. Available in shades of blue, purple, pink, or white depending on the variety, Balloon Flower creates eye-catching displays in perennial borders, cottage gardens, and mixed landscape plantings. Its unusual buds make it a favourite conversation piece long before the flowers even open.

This easy-care perennial blooms throughout the summer while attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators to the garden. Its upright habit pairs beautifully with coneflowers, salvia, black-eyed Susans, ornamental grasses, and other summer perennials. Balloon Flower also makes an excellent cut flower, bringing long-lasting beauty indoors.

Balloon Flower thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and becomes increasingly reliable as it matures. Once established, it returns year after year with minimal maintenance, making it an excellent addition to low-maintenance and pollinator-friendly gardens.
