Jacobs Ladder Hurricane Ridge

Common Name: Jacobs Ladder

Botanical Name: Polemonium

Variety: Hurricane Ridge

Blossom Color: Mauve-Blue

Bloom Time: May-Sep

Zone: 4 to 9

Exposure: Sun to Shade

Mature Height: 9"

Mature Width: 18"

Notes: Larger than a typical Jacobs Ladder, 'Hurricane Ridge' also has better sun tolerance for more flexibility in the garden. During midsummer, clusters of mauve-blue flowers rise on strong stems above heavily mounded fern-like foliage. Blooms are quite fragrant and attract pollinators which is a good thing because there are lots of flowers. Adds interesting texture to the rock garden, containers, or the front of the border.
