Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium reptans) 12-pack of plugs
Can be shipped.
What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. Read more here.
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 planting Jacob’s Ladder plugs by the dozen!
