Homeowner Growing Tips

Grow in sun or partial shade. Balloon flowers prefer fertile, moist, well-drained, loamy soil. Amend with compost before planting. Established plants resent transplanting. Deadhead after flowering. New stems emerge late in spring, so leave old stems in place through winter until new growth appears.

So happy with these!

These plants arrived VERY happy and healthy despite shipping during a heat wave of 95 degree temps in July. They were here in 3 days and the buds were blooming a week later!
