Balloon Flower (Platycodon grandiflorus 'Fuji Blue') |
Have Seeds Collected or purchased 2024 Perennials Flowers Full Sun Winter Sow |
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. |

Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta 'Cherry Brandy') |
Have OP Collected or purchased 2022 Perennials Edibles Medicinal Flowers Winter Sow |
From DnD Swap - IJsbrandtGA -12-2020 A.H. Fergus Falls, Maine 12/16/2022 Sow Rudbeckia seeds outdoors in the spring after the danger of frost has passed. Prepare the soil by loosening the top 1 - 2 inches and removing any weeds. Sow the seeds into the loosened soil and rake in. Walk over the area to gently press the flower seeds into the soil. Keep the flower seeds moist until germination. The plants transplant well and should be spaced 12 - 18 inches apart. They form a clump that will reach 12 inches in width or more. Rudbeckia Flower Care: Deadheading prolongs the bloom season, but they will re-seed themselves readily if you leave a few blooms to go to seed. Watch for seedlings in subsequent years. 100 days. Zones: 4 - 8. |
