Fun, Balloon-Shaped Blooms
Balloon flower has gained its name by the unusual "balloon" shape of its bud before it opens into striking, five-lobed cups of blue to purple. Long-lasting blooms in July and August make excellent cut flowers, if the cut ends of the stems are seared.
Start Indoors 6-8 weeks before last expected frost
