Polemonium 'Touch Of Class'
Spreading Jacob's Ladder, Touch Of Class Jacob's Ladder
Touch of Class Jacob's Ladder forms a low mound of dark green leaflets bordered unevenly in white. The divided leaves create a finely patterned surface close to the ground.
Pink buds open into nodding violet-blue flowers with a pleasant scent in early summer. Upright flower stems give the clump a second layer of height without hiding its variegated leaves.
Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive soil that drains well. Keep young plants watered while their roots establish.
