A fresh look for the cottage garden classic ‘Jacob’s Ladder’, ‘Stairway to Heaven’ boasts bell-shaped light blue flowers in late spring to early summer.
Aromatic flowers perch on green foliage of fern-like variegated leaves with cream edges, taking on a slight pink tinge when left to bask in the sunlight.
The common name of ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ derives from the formation of the leaves that stretch up the stems of the plant, mirroring the steps of a ladder.
Also known as a Polemonium, little extra care is needed to witness exceptional performances from this beauty, whether breathing fresh life into the front of a busy border, lining a pathway, or spreading as groundcover.
Versatile, hardy, and tolerant of heat, this deciduous perennial is a perfect partner to grow alongside a Hosta, such as ‘Blue Angel’ or ‘Wide Brim’, in a shaded garden corner.
Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.
