The name Jacob's Ladder comes from the plant's distinctive, feathered foliage, which grows in a symmetrical, step-like pattern reminiscent of a ladder. Polemonium thrives in part shade to full sun and prefers well-drained, moist soil. Its manageable height of 40-60 cm makes it ideal for borders, woodland edges, and containers, where it adds both structure and colour.
Aside from its visual appeal, Polemonium is also loved for its low maintenance nature. These hardy perennials are easy to grow and return year after year, spreading slowly into attractive clumps that enhance your garden's overall charm. Additionally, their delicate flowers are a magnet for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making them an eco-friendly choice for wildlife gardens.
