The seed capsules are round and green when young, and when the plant matures, they turn dark brown and become inflated with air. This plant is native to India, and it is often cultivated for its ornamental value in gardens.
2. Balloon Vine belongs to the family Lamiaceae and is closely related to the mint family. Its scientific name is Cardiospermum halicacabum. It grows best in moist, well-drained soil and prefers a location in full sun. It is a vigorous climber, and it can reach heights of up to 20 feet.
