Polemonium 'Bressingham Purple'

Jacob's Ladder grows well in those deep shady areas that most other plants won't. Beautiful dark foliage stays low, around eight inches tall, while lavender-blue, springtime blooms stand up on stalks about a foot tall. Keep Jacob's Ladder watered throughout the summer, and be sure to place it where it is protected from the afternoon sun. Its compact size makes this shade lover a perfect choice for container planters or along walkways.
