Description:
Platycodon ‘Fuji Pink’ is a delightful perennial known for its unique balloon-like buds that pop open into soft pink, star-shaped flowers in mid to late summer. The pastel blooms sit atop compact mounds of lush green foliage, making it perfect for borders, rock gardens, and containers.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, ‘Fuji Pink’ adds charm and color to any sunny to lightly shaded spot. It prefers well-drained soil and is drought tolerant once established. Avoid disturbing established plants, as they do not like to be moved. Deadheading spent blooms encourages a longer flowering season.
