Balloon Flower Sowing Instructions
Planting Depth:0” Seed Spacing:6”-8” Plant Spacing:12”-18” Days to Germination:10-15 days Germination Temperature:65°-75°F
Platycodon grandiflorus. Platycodon can be
direct-sown outdoors or started indoors 4 to 8
weeks before transplanting outside after the
threat of frost has passed. Prepare planting site in
garden in full to partial sunlight with rich, well-draining
soil. Sow seeds on top of soil, leaving
seeds uncovered but pressed firmly onto the soil
surface, as light aids germination. Provide even
moisture and strong light during germination.
Harden off the seedlings by gradually acclimating
them outside. Thin or transplant the
seedlings 12" to 18" apart. It will not flower
until its second year, but once it does, stand
back! Its heavily flower-laden stems may need
staking. This blue cut flower should be harvested
when 2 to 3 flowers open on an individual stem.
Flame-sear cut ends before putting in water.
Summer flowering. Height: 18" to 24".
