Balloon Vine

Also known as Love-in-a-puff, this is a beautiful climbing plant that looks great as a hanging decoration in bouquets or as a table decoration.

Sow approximately 8-10 weeks before the last frost and plant out when the risk of frost has passed. Requires substantial plant support and likes to climb.
Harvest when the stem is full of green "lanterns". Immediately upon harvesting, dip the end of the stem in boiling water for about 7-10 seconds, then place directly in cold water.
