Platycodon x 'Astra Pink' (Balloon Flower)

Platycodon ‘Astra Pink’

Add charming texture and soft color to your garden with this delightful balloon flower variety. Unique balloon-like buds swell before bursting open into bell-shaped blooms in a gentle light pink. The thick petals give the flowers a fuller look and help them last longer in the garden.

This compact, low-growing perennial is perfect for the front of borders, edging paths, or container planting. Its tidy habit and reliable performance make it a favorite for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Platycodon is known for being long-lived and easy to grow, with very few issues. It emerges later in spring, so be patient—once it appears, it quickly fills in with lush growth and blooms that attract bees and other pollinators.
