Full Product Details
Product Information
A fresh look for the cottage garden classic ‘Jacob’s Ladder’, ‘Stairway to Heaven’ boasts bell-shaped light blue flowers in late spring to early summer.
Aromatic flowers perch on green foliage of fern-like variegated leaves with cream edges, taking on a slight pink tinge when left to bask in the sunlight.
The common name of ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ derives from the formation of the leaves that stretch up the stems of the plant, mirroring the steps of a ladder.
Also known as a Polemonium, little extra care is needed to witness exceptional performances from this beauty, whether breathing fresh life into the front of a busy border, lining a pathway, or spreading as groundcover.
Versatile, hardy, and tolerant of heat, this deciduous perennial is a perfect partner to grow alongside a Hosta, such as ‘Blue Angel’ or ‘Wide Brim’, in a shaded garden corner.
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.
