It is a flower plant belonging to the Campanulaceae family, which in this family includes bellflower and lobelia. The name of this plant is taken from the shape of flower buds that grow and bloom into star-shaped, and when swollen it is similar to a balloon that is swollen.

Balloon flower plants grow well in areas with good drainage, moist, and fertile soil. The roots are very strong and deep and the seeds will fall in the fall and will have the chance to grow back in the next season.

The plant does not matter if it wilts at the end of the summer, because when it enters winter it will be more resilient and will re-grow the following spring. The following spring the balloon flower began to show signs of life. When it starts to germinate, we can prune dry branches.

If summer does not make it bloom or it is difficult to bloom, you can try cutting the long stems to stimulate these plants to give rise to flower buds.

Platycodon grandflourus is a plant that likes to live alone in the soil with sturdy roots. So, plant these plants in the soil so they can grow optimally. If it’s in a pot, the roots will be limited in crawling.
