Click on picture for larger image | Platycodon 'Astra Double Lavender' | | Common Name: | Balloon flower | | Bloom color: | Lavender-Blue | | Height: | 8" | | Bloom: | July | | Hardiness: | 3-8 | | Light: | Full Sun, Part Sun | | Soil: | Any, well-drained | Why you need this plant: Balloon-like buds burst open into semi-double, bell-shaped, lavender-blue flowers which measure a full 2-3 inches across. Exceptional branching and thick flower petals make for long-lasting blooms. Its compact, uniform habit makes this variety a good choice for cut flowers, containers, or the garden. | | | Planting Info: Platycodons are easy, trouble-free perennials that thrive in almost any soil as long as it is well-drained. They can easily adapt to grow in either full sun or part shade. Be patient in the spring, as this genus is slow to emerge. Cut the whole plant back after the first hard frost. | |
