More Information About Polemonium

The genus Polemonium is a phlox relative that contains many attractive small garden perennials that are not known for thriving in the heat and humidity of the south. However, we have uncovered a few gems that perform admirably in our humid Raleigh, NC garden. We are happy to make these heat-tolerant Polemonium varieties available to you.

The name Polemonium comes to us from the Greek "polemos" or "war"'. As the story goes, two princes both claimed to have discovered the plant and from that dispute, the genus name Polemonium was derived.

Polemonium (Jacob's Ladder) Growing Conditions

Jacob's ladder plants prefer woodland conditions...partial shade, moist, amended, well-drained soils and a near neutral pH. They bloom in the spring with pretty, little, blue/lavender flowers. If you cut back the plants in late spring, you may also get a second flush of flowers. Polemonium are small plants and look best in a rock garden or near a path. Try pairing with astilbe, heuchera, carex, or other small spring bloomers.
