Polemonium ‘Heaven Scent’ | Jacob’s Ladder
DESCRIPTION
Polemonium 'Heaven Scent', commonly known as Jacob's Ladder, is a charming perennial celebrated for its fragrant lavender-blue, bell-shaped flowers and attractive foliage. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the flowers attract bees and butterflies, making it ideal for pollinator-friendly gardens. The foliage emerges in early spring as bronze-purple, maturing to lush green, with pinnately compound leaves resembling a ladder. Thriving in partial shade but tolerating full sun in cooler climates, 'Heaven Scent' is perfect for garden borders, woodland areas, and shaded spots. It pairs well with hostas, ferns, and astilbes, and can also be grown in containers, adding charm to patios and shaded areas.
