The elegant perennial Platycodon grandiflorus (commonly called “balloon flower”) delights with unique bud shapes that puff up like balloons before unfurling into star-shaped, upward-facing blooms in rich blues, pinks or whites. Native to East Asia, this clump-forming perennial is hardy through Canadian zones as low as Zone 3, making it a reliable choice for colder climates. It thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and average moisture—ideal for mixed borders, rock gardens or containers. Explore our Wildwood Express balloon flower collection to add whimsical buds, long-lasting colour and low-maintenance charm to your garden.
