Is this a balloon flower seedling?
8 years ago
I bought a packet of Ferry Morse Seeds for balloon flower, Platycodon grandiflorus.
One sprouted of about thirty, and I’m not sure if this is actually a balloon flower seedling, or I’m growing a weed! What do you think?
Its the big one. The tray also has pyrethrum and thyme.
It just doesn’t quite resemble mature ones I’ve seen.
