Description

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.
Delivery Information

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.
