Love in a Puff
Product Description
Love in a Puff
Cardiospermum halicacabum
Few things rival the delicate beauty of a fully blooming Love in a Puff vine. The long, ferny-leaved vines are loaded with tiny white blossoms and the most interesting green, balloon-like pods that resemble miniature paper lanterns. What is even more magical is that inside each balloon are tiny black seeds imprinted with perfect white hearts. These vigorous growers will scramble up and over a trellis in no time. Woven into an arrangement, this beauty will take any creation to a whole new level.
Details:
Plant type: annual
Height: 6-10 feet
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 120 days
Plant spacing: 6-12”
Pinch: not necessary
Approx seeds per packet: 15
How to Grow:
Start seed indoors in pots 8-10 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Love in a Puff is very sensitive to cold; wait until weather has warmed to plant out. Provide a strong trellis or support for vines to climb.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
Cut foliage is prone to wilting in the heat, so harvest during the coolest part of the day and place directly into water to rest for a few hours before arranging. Choose stems that have firmed up and are covered in little green lanterns. Stems will last a good week in the vase if flower preservative is used.
