A fresh look for the cottage garden classic ‘Jacob’s Ladder’, ‘Stairway to Heaven’ boast 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 these plants, mirroring the steps of a ladder.
Also known as Polemonium, little extra care is needed to witness exceptional performances from these beauties, whether breathing fresh life into the front of a busy border, lining a pathway, or spreading as groundcover.
Versatile, hardy, and tolerant of heat, these deciduous perennials are perfect partners to grow alongside Hostas, such as ‘Blue Angel’ or ‘Wide Brim’, in shaded garden corners.
Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, ready for planting.
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.
