Organic Balloonflower Seeds
Unique blooms for vibrant borders
Organic balloonflower seeds produce charming perennial plants named for their balloon-like buds that open into star-shaped blossoms. These hardy flowers thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, adding long-lasting color to borders, cottage gardens, and perennial beds. Balloonflowers are known for their upright habit and deep green foliage, which creates a beautiful contrast with their soft blue, pink, or white blooms.
Once established, they are drought tolerant and return reliably each year, making them a favorite for gardeners seeking low-maintenance perennials. Their sturdy stems hold well in bouquets, and their whimsical buds delight both children and adults in the garden.
For more perennial and pollinator-friendly flowers to pair with balloonflowers, browse our Flower Seeds & Bulbs collection, where you’ll find complementary varieties that add texture, height, and seasonal color to your garden designs.
Did You Know? The unique balloon-like buds form because air becomes trapped inside the flower as it swells before opening.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
