Polemonium 'Bressingham Purple'

Jacob's Ladder 'Bressingham Purple'

Bressingham Purple Jacob's Ladder has foliage that takes on purple tones in spring and autumn. Its upright growth brings a lighter, finely divided leaf texture to a mixed border.

Clusters of sky-blue flowers appear from late spring into midsummer. Darker markings and a small white center give each cupped bloom extra detail when viewed nearby.

Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive soil that drains well. Keep young plants watered while their roots establish.
