Astra Blue Balloon Flower

Astra Blue Balloon Flower is defined by its buds, which swell into round, balloon-like forms before opening into star-shaped blue flowers. This transition gives the plant a staged look, with both buds and blooms present at the same time. Its compact habit keeps everything close to the ground while still offering clear, upright stems. Reaching about 6 to 10 inches tall and wide at maturity, it forms a small, tidy presence that works well in borders, edging, and mixed plantings.
