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.
