Jacobs Ladder, scientifically known as Polemonium caeruleum, is a delightful perennial herbaceous plant that belongs to the Polemoniaceae family. This charming herb is native to Europe and grows in various parts of North America. Its common name is inspired by the arrangement of its pinnately compound leaves, which resemble the rungs of a ladder.

It is a hardy plant that typically reaches 12 to 24 inches. It produces attractive, fern-like foliage with numerous leaflets arranged alternately along the stem. The leaves generally are split into smaller leaflets, giving them a delicate and graceful appearance. The leaflets are typically lance-shaped and have a lush green color.

Jacob's Ladder

I justed planted the bare roots. The roots look healthy and large enough to grow. I'll wait until next spring to see whether they become plants.
