Say hello to the White Balloon Flower, a plant that's sure to bring a touch of elegance and whimsy to your garden. This delightful perennial, which grows to about 1-2 feet tall, earns its name from its unique balloon-shaped buds that inflate and burst open into beautiful star-shaped flowers.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
For the best results, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. After the last frost, transplant seedlings outdoors, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in full sun. Balloon Flowers prefer well-draining soil and moderate watering.
