    All platycodon are wonderful plants, almost unbelievable tough tolerant of heat, cold and drought, pest free, and blooming over long period over the summer. They should be in every garden. This is perhaps my favorite variety with lovely pale blue almost white flowers veined with dark blue. Zone 4
