Platycodon grandiflorus

AndrewR

By Andrewr


Platycodon grandiflorus (Platycodon grandiflorus)

The balloon flower, so called because of the shape of its flower buds. Prefers a deep soil in sun or part shade and left alone, can make a good clump about two feet tall. May be troubled by slugs and snails (but not with me)
