Polemonium (Polemoniaceae)
A genus with a nearly worldwide distribution of about 25 species. Commonly known as Jacob’s Ladder for the narrow, opposite leaves that form ‘ladder-like’ up the stem. In late spring and early summer it produces bluish-purple, white, or pink flowers atop 3’ stems. The beautiful, ferny foliage lasts all summer, creating a nice contrast in the perennial garden. This is an edge of the woodland plant that occurs naturally along stream banks and the edges of meadows, so, part shade, morning sun and evenly moist, cool soil. They will often reflower if deadheaded.
AVAILABLE THIS YEAR
P. boreale ‘Heavenly Habit’ - A more compact form to 18”. Light blue flowers with a yellow eye and a white center. Striking.
P. yezoense ‘Purple Rain Strain’ - Attractive purple-red foliage that persists all season. Purple flowers mid-summer. Foliage is best with some shade.
