Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you sow.

Can balsam flowers work well in narrow planting beds?

Yes. Its compact, bushy habit and listed height of 30–60 cm make it suitable for borders and other spaces where a moderate plant profile is useful.

How do balsam blooms sit on the plant?

The page describes double and semi-double blooms as being nestled close to the stems among lance-shaped leaves.

Can balsam be grown in window boxes?

Yes. Window boxes are specifically listed as a suitable use, along with patio containers, raised beds and garden borders.

What flower colors can appear from these balsam seeds?

The page lists red, pink, white, salmon and bicolour combinations. Seed-grown plants may show variation within that range.

Does balsam readily reseed in the garden?

The page notes prolific self-seeding. If you want to limit spread, remove developing seed pods before they mature.

Is balsam suitable for a monsoon-season flower display?
