{"product_id":"balloonflower-seeds-organic","title":"Balloonflower Seeds (Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrganic Platycodon grandiflorus seeds produce charming perennial plants named for their balloon-like buds that open into star-shaped blossoms. Commonly called balloonflower, these hardy flowers thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, adding long-lasting color to borders, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. Balloonflowers are known for their upright habit and deep green foliage, which creates a beautiful contrast with their soft blue, pink, or white blooms. Their sturdy stems hold well in bouquets, and their whimsical buds delight both children and adults in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flower seed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower character:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Platycodon grandiflorus seeds produce charming perennial plants named for their balloon-like buds that open into star-shaped blossoms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65-75°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14-21 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\"-30\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDays to Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70-90 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Partial Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing After Thinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"-18\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare a weed-reduced seedbed for Balloonflower and use the recorded planting season, depth, and light requirements. Press shallow-sown seed into good soil contact and keep the seed zone from drying during establishment. Thin or transplant only when the growth habit and spacing call for it. Leave enough room for mature width and air movement. Bloom timing and final height can shift with sowing date, climate, soil, moisture, and competition, so use listed figures as planning ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir sturdy stems hold well in bouquets, and their whimsical buds delight both children and adults in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace Balloonflower where its recorded height and growth habit fit the surrounding planting. Shorter companions can be positioned toward bed edges, while taller stems need room where they will not shade small seedlings too early. If cutting flowers, harvest with clean tools at the stage appropriate to the bloom form. If leaving flowers in place, observe how bloom sequence changes through the season and record which sowing date performed best at the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a dated label for Balloonflower and compare actual emergence, growth, and harvest or bloom timing with the ranges in the current record. Local soil, temperature, light, moisture, and planting date can shift results. Keep observations with the remaining packet so the next sowing can be adjusted without replacing product-specific measurements with a universal calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flower-seeds-bulbs\"\u003eFlower Seeds \u0026amp; Bulbs collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strictly Medicinal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42825734979697,"sku":"SNV7123","price":5.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/SNV7123_Balloonflower-Seeds.jpg?v=1768448405","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/balloonflower-seeds-organic","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
