Description

Style and class in abundance – the ‘Bressingham Purple’ Polemonium is a gardening delight with fern-like foliage and sumptuous blooms.

Many will know Polemonium as Jacob’s Ladder, a name inspired by the pairs of leaves that stretch up this plant’s stems and mirror a ladder.

A real problem-solver for avid gardeners on the lookout for blooms that continue to evolve and impress across several months.

In springtime, see cupped flowers with lilac-mauve petals and bright yellow anthers as they emerge upright and strong on slender stems from dark purple foliage. Moving into summer, the dark plant gently becomes tinged in green, before darkening back to purple when days shorten, and autumn begins.

The benefits of this hardy and herbaceous perennial can even be shared with the inside of your home, as the long stems are perfect for cutting and placing in a swanky vase.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting.

Top Tips

Fully hardy perennial that becomes dormant across the cold winter months, before resprouting in spring. No protection will be needed in winter.

Care Information
  • Best planted in full sun or a partially shaded location, in soil that is moist, fertile soil.
  • Dig a square hole as deep as the roots as supplied, and approximately 1.5x as wide.
  • Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole to help the plant establish quicker.
  • Spread the roots gently and place into the planting hole.
  • Mix well rotted compost or manure with the soil taken from the hole and then use to backfill around the plant.
  • Keep well-watered until established.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
