Homeowner Growing Tips: Grow in sun or partial shade. Balloon flowers prefer fertile, moist, well-drained, loamy soil. Amend with compost before planting. Deadhead after flowering. New stems emerge late in spring, so leave old stems in place through winter until new growth appears. Established plants resent transplanting, but thicker side shoots may be separated from the base of the plant in early summer.

    Plants arrived healthy and blooming ! This was my first experience ordering plants online and I must say I am very impressed! The plants arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition, they arrived extremely fast from the time I ordered them and were brought right to my front door! Saved me time and labor from shopping, loading, carrying! I will continue to order from Romence Gardens for my future plant needs. I give them an A+ all around!!
