Polemonium (Jacob's Ladder)

Picture
One of the best features of the Jacob’s Ladder plant is its foliage. The plant forms a clump of densely packed leaf stems each bearing tiny leaflets, almost fern-like in appearance, that rise along the stem like the ladder of the biblical dream of Jacob. Loose clusters of flowers hang like bells from the long stems and come in white, pink, blue or yellow. Once established, growing Jacob’s ladder requires very little except for the occasional trimming.

"Blue Pearl"


Polemonium, Blue Pearl
Fine green foliage gives Blue Pearl Polemonium a fern-like appearance in the shade garden with the bonus of stalks of blue flowers in the spring. This is a shorter variety of Jacob's Ladder. Despite the species name this plant is clump forming.
