Tomatoes Galore Swap - critterologist - Fun to watch the violet-blue "balloons" pop open to star shaped single blooms. I've had this plant at least 10 years, so the variety name is just my best guess. It's drought resistant once established (lives in my mailbox bed) and will self-sow (good winter sowing candidate). Seeds collected 2023.

Balloon flowers are generally planted in the spring after the danger of frost has passed, growing quickly to bloom in the first year.

Zones 3 to 8.
