Polemonium Jacobs Ladder ‘Purple Rain’

Tall, showy, easy to grow perennial thrives in part to full shade where few other flowers grow. Purple Rain Jacobs Ladder has dark purple ferny foliage that fades to shiny green with a purple blush as the season progresses. Excellent selection with large bluish-purple cup-shaped flowers that dance on long maroon stems. 20″ tall Hardy perennial zones 4-9 Remove spent flower heads to prevent seeding or enjoy your little woodland colony. Design: For bold contrast try pairing with brightly colored foliage like Japanese forest grass, carex ‘Bowles Golden’ or ‘Banana Boat’. For a bold contrast try the new 2020 AHG Hosta of the year “Dancing Queen”. For a more elegant subdued combo try pairing with some of the very blue hostas, like “Diamond Lake’ or one of my favorites ‘Blue Angel’. For a long flower display in shade try Heuchera ‘Paris’.
