Balloon flower Blue

250 seeds

Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date or directly outdoors after the last frost. Lightly press the seeds into moist, well-draining soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil at 65-70°F (18-21°C) and maintain consistent moisture. Germination usually takes 14-21 days. Once seedlings are large enough and outdoor temperatures warm, transplant them to a sunny spot with well-draining, fertile soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Balloon flowers prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Fertilize lightly with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Cut back spent blooms to encourage new flowers and maintain the plant's shape.
