How do you overwinter the balloon flower?
Balloon flowers are hardy and tolerate frost quite well. If they are placed in planters, this only applies to a limited extent. Because there, the frost can penetrate from all sides and cause a lot of damage relatively quickly.
Grooming the balloon flower in winter
If the ground is not frozen, then pour your balloon flower. Otherwise she could die of thirst. However, it needs slightly less water than during the warm season. You should not fertilize until the spring. Wrap container plants carefully with heat-insulating material or overwinter the plants in the cold greenhouse or in the unheated conservatory.
