Jacob’s Ladder is one of the best wildflowers for shade or sun gardens. It is one of the earliest spring flowers to bloom, with light blue flowers that provide nectar and pollen for small bees.
The foliage itself grows in soft, tight clumps. The short stature and early bloom time make it a perfect companion for Ivory Sedge and spring wildflowers. After blooming, the seed heads turn a nice maroon color. It’s such a good plant that we recommend it to everybody for almost any garden!

Jacob’s Ladder is a vigorous woodland flower capable of growing in sunny spots with enough soil moisture. Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium reptans) creates nice short mounds of light blue flowers. It works especially well when planted in a groundcover of Ivory Sedge because the Ivory Sedge always stays shorter than the Jacob’s Ladder, creating mound of foliage interspersed in a fine groundcover of sedge leaves.
We like planting Jacob’s Ladder with other early spring bloomers such as Prairie Smoke and Wood Betony, which bloom at the same time.
Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
