Bountiful Gardens on Instagram: "Balloon Flowers, botanical name is Platycodon grandiflorus. They are one of those fun plants to grow in the garden to excite kids. Balloon flowers get their name from the unopened buds, which swell up prior to opening and resemble little hot-air balloons. They are easy to grow perennials. Plant them in full or partial sun in a garden bed that has nice well drained soil. #perennials #gardening #gardendesign #landscapearchitecture #plants"
