Product Overview
Raspberry pink veins radiate like the sun’s rays into each petal of the soft pink 3” bells. Superior branching and compact habit are perfect for containers and rock gardens.
Flower buds expand like balloons before bursting open into five-pointed, star-shaped flowers. Slow to emerge in spring but worth the wait. Platycodon is a reliable bloomer that is long lived and rarely needs dividing.

Remove dead stems after leaves drop in fall and cut back to 6". Benefits from watering during dry spells.
