CLOSED: SASBE Blue Balloon Plant & Double Blue Balloon Plant

I have 5 offers of Blue Balloon Plant (Platycodon) and 4 offers of Double Blue Balloon Plant to the first people who respond to this post.

I only ask the following:

Please send your Self Addressed Bubble Envelope WITH $.52 in postage
If you are not a newbie, PLEASE share your seeds from these with upcoming newbies after they flower for the first time as so many people shared with me when I was a newbie.
Indicate in your post whether you want the single, double or both.

Please post here rather than E-Mail so that I can stay organized as easily as possible.

Here is a picture of my double blue, these are just WONDERFUL plants to have and provide you with long bloom times, are well behaved and have lots of seeds to share in the fall!

Kim

I would dearly love to have the double ones, please.

Then my dear, they are yours :)

3 doubles remaining.

My address for everyone is:

Kim Jacobsen
16 Middle Road
Kennebunk, ME 04043

Kim

If you have double left I would love to try them.

They are yours......2 doubles left and still 5 singles.

Kim,

Are these perennial or biennial? I have seen Baloonflower listed both ways.

Suzy

They are perennial here in Maine Suzy so if they are a perennial here....they are a perennial anywhere *lol*.
They are one of my favorite flowers.

Hope this helps,
Kim

Hi Kim, I'd love to try some of each! Have you gotten a hard frost there yet? Mike

Hi Mike,

I have reserved one of each for you. Only 1 frost so far but the ground isn't frozen yet. My aster and sedum are still blooming beautifully.

These seeds are GREAT for winter sowing. I'm sending enough so that everyone can winter sow 1/2 and direct sow the other half.

Down to 1 double left and 4 singles.

Kim

Hi Kim:

If you still have one of each left, double and single, I'd love to have some!

Thanks!

Jan

Hello Jan,

One of each are put aside for you.

This leaves 3 singles left for anyone still interested.

Kim

Hello Bonnie,

I have a package of single blue set aside for you.

This leaves 2 single blues left to be adopted.

Kim

Hello,

Renwings, I have set aside a package of single blue for you.
Yes, mine does that in the fall. I usually cut them before they look like that though. After I harvest the seed pods I cut them to the ground just for neatness.

Kim

Hi Kim, LOL am I a day late and .52 cents short or do you have any left for adoption??? Lauri

According to my records....which I hope are correct, I have 1 single blue left for your Lauri :)

Kim

hurray, I'll get it out Monday even tho the P.O. is closed...Thanks Kim.......Lauri

As of today, these have all been adopted so I'm going to close this thread until next year :)

I will be watching for your bubble envelopes and will mail them right back.

Remember, there are enough seeds for each of you to Winter sow 1/2 and direct sow the other 1/2 this Spring.

I hope they bloom beautifully for all of you and bring you many years of joy.

Be sure to pass along the joy of Balloon Plant (Platycodon) next year or the following year by sharing seeds with any new gardeners you can share with :)

ENJOY!

Kim

Thanks, Kim. I didn't even know Platycodon had a double flowered variety!

I just wanted to let the following people know I received their envelopes in today's mail and they are going out tomorrow:

claypa
makshi

Thank you both for getting them out so quickly and I hope you enjoy your new plants for many years to come.

Kim

You should have mine any time.

Bonnie, I wanted to let you know that I received your SASBE in the mail today.
Your envelope will go out in the mail tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy them and that they do well for you!

Kim

Kim-

I'm probably the last person to send you my envelope...once a procrastinator, always a procrastinator!!! Thank you, again, for your generous offer!

Jan (balloon flower: double and single)

The seeds showed up in today's mail, thanks again!
Mike

They are here whenever your envelope shows up Jan....no worries :)
Glad to hear they arrived Mike! Enjoy and I hope they do well for you :)

Kim

Hello Renwings.....your envelope arrived today :)
I will be putting it in the mail to you tomorrow but wanted to know if you would like an Penstemon Smallii. I harvested some seed and it's ready if you would like some.
Here is a picture of it.
They are good "winter sow" candidates and are a perennial here in Maine which bloom for 6-8 weeks! I love mine and would like to share if you want some.

Let me know so I can get your envelope ready OK?

Kim

Hello Jan, I received your envelope in the mail today and will be sending it to you in the mail tomorrow.

ENJOY and I hope they bring you many beautiful blooms!

Kim
