Summertime Blues


The Balloon Flowers are gracing us with their prolific blooms.
Also known as the Chinese Bellflower, they are a herbaceous perennial native to eastern Russia, China, Japan, and Korea.
They start out as little puffy, balloon like buds, before blooming into beautiful star-shaped flowers.
Considered low maintenance, that last throughout the summer, and are deer resistant.

Oh, how I love these flowers! They seem to be doing well, considering the heat we’ve been having!

This plant is one of my favorites of all that you grow. Great color and makes my white one look wimpy.

They are amazing flowers. I have never grown them and I bet we are too hot for them. They must grow in the shade there.
