Astra Pink Balloon Flower

in Plant of the Week

Astra Pink Balloon Flower: The small stature of this dwarf perennial is almost betrayed by the large, star shaped flowers that continue to bloom throughout the summer. Its namesake comes from the buds, which fill with air and bear a striking resemblance to little balloons! Great for small spaces; planting en masse and cottage style gardens.
