Growing Guide
Starting from Seed: Sow seeds in peat pots or cell packs, pressing them into the soil surface without covering—balloon flower seeds need light to germinate. Handle seedlings with care as they are fragile. You can also direct sow in the garden once soil has warmed in spring.
Transplanting: Space plants 10 inches apart in the garden. Balloon flowers take some patience to establish from seed but are well worth the wait.
Care: Plant in full sun (or partial shade in warmer areas) and well-drained, average soil. Water regularly until established. Once mature, these perennials are quite drought tolerant and require minimal maintenance.
