Platycodon 'Astra Pink' - Balloon Flower Fragrant but the dark green foliageOften referred to as the "Balloon Flower", Platycodon is a cool flowering plant that is super easy to grow. Upright stems yield pink balls that rise up from the plant, swelling until they pop open in a viviid display of floral bells. We like Astra Pink for the light pink color blooms we think they have an outstanding appearance as they settle over the green mid summer foliage. It also has a compact habit that keeps it shapely at an 8 to 10 inch height
