Platycodon grandiflorus – Sentimental Blue
A delightful dwarf perennial, Sentimental Blue balloon flower charms with its whimsical, hot-air‑balloon‑shaped buds that unfurl into clear, vibrant blue, star-like blooms—often accented by subtle purple veins. These abundant blossoms, approximately 7 cm (3 in) across, appear in the warmth of mid- to late summer, held atop low, mounded foliage that rises just 6–12 in (15–30 cm)—making it a standout in borders, rock gardens, and containers. The compact habit and easy-going nature—virtually pest- and disease-free, deer-resistant, and tolerant of both drought and heat—make this variety particularly garden-friendly. Just be mindful: new stems emerge late in spring and may go unnoticed, so marking their winter location helps avoid accidental disturbance.
