Blue Balloon Flower

Blue Balloon Flower

Displays distinctive balloon shaped buds and cooling colours.

A native of eastern Asia, this clump-forming herbaceous perennial is hard to beat for the cutting garden, a border or a container. Blue flower buds puff up like balloons before opening, hence the name, then exhibit five-pointed lobes with a bell-like shape. Remove spent flowers to prolong bloom period. Exceptionally long vase life.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
