Polemonium C. 'Brise D'Anjou' PP#9781

VARIEGATED JACOB'S LADDER

Brise d'Anjou Jacob's Ladder pairs blue summer flowers with striking variegated foliage. Small leaflets sit in orderly rows, edged in creamy yellow that becomes paler in shade.

The flowering stems rise above the leafy clump and display prominent yellow stamens within the blue blooms. Its combination of airy growth and pale leaf margins brightens a mixed planting.

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