Description
Polemonium 'Golden Feathers', commonly known as Jacob's Ladder, is a stunning perennial that stands out for its vibrant variegated foliage and delicate clusters of lilac-mauve flowers. This variety forms a bushy, clump-forming habit, typically reaching up to 50 cm in height. Its pinnate leaves are composed of dark green leaflets with distinctive golden-yellow edges, creating a striking contrast that provides visual interest throughout the year, even when not in bloom.
In spring and early summer, Polemonium 'Golden Feathers' produces charming bell-shaped flowers that rise gracefully above the foliage. The soft lilac-mauve blooms add a subtle yet colourful touch to gardens, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. With its unique foliage and attractive flowers, this perennial is perfect for a variety of garden styles, including cottage gardens, woodland borders, or as part of a mixed bed.
Polemonium 'Golden Feathers' is valued not only for its beauty but also for its adaptability and ease of care. It thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for woodland or shady garden areas. This hardy perennial adds texture and colour, creating a visually dynamic garden feature throughout the growing season.
