Platycodon grandiflorus- - Mariesii – These showy perennials will bring attention to your garden. They are spikes of large, deep blue flowers that first inflate, and then burst open to a bell-shaped flower. They are a versatile plant that blooms from spring to fall. They are easy to grow, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade in well drained soil, and will grow up to 24 inches tall.  It is important to note that they do not like being divided or transplanted. These showy plants will attract butterflies and bees to your gardens. They do well as cut flowers, in landscapes, and as groundcovers. For germinations -  start seeds indoors, barely covered in soil.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right! 
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!! 
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME. 
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL. 
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
