Take A Closer Look... Those Lilac Flower Cups Have Bright Yellow Centres, And The Leaves Put On A Colour Show Of Their Own!
Polemonium 'Bressingham Purple' pairs the flowers with a rich, leafy backdrop. In spring, slender stems lift cupped lilac-mauve blooms above dark purple, fern-like foliage. Those little yellow anthers add a cheerful finishing touch.
And the display keeps changing. As summer arrives, the leaves develop green tones before deepening back to purple in autumn. There's something to admire beyond the flowers, with finely divided foliage adding texture among broader-leaved border plants.
You may know it as Jacob's Ladder. Look at the paired leaflets arranged along each leaf stalk and you'll soon see where the name comes from!
Leave room for a few stems in a vase, too. They bring that same delicate cottage garden look indoors.
Hardy and straightforward to grow, 'Bressingham Purple' enjoys sun or partial shade and moist, fertile soil. It dies back for winter, ready to return with fresh growth in spring.
Fully hardy perennial that becomes dormant across the cold winter months, before resprouting in spring. No protection will be needed in winter.
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 it's 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.
