Platycodon grandiflorus
Balloon Flower
Description
These unusual perennials bloom from mid-summer through fall with deep blue, bulb-shaped buds that open into star-like cups. Plants emerge in late spring, and should be placed under full sun in average, well-drained soil. Overall growth reaches 1 1/2-2' in height. While the plant is reliable and requires low maintenance, it resents transplanting once it it established. -Holland Wildflower Farm

Water Saving Tip:
Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.
Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.
Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
