Jacob's Ladder
A Ladder to Heaven in the Shade
Jacob's Ladder gets its name from its unique foliage—small leaflets arranged like the rungs of a ladder. It forms a lush, fern-like mound of green. In mid-spring, it is topped with loose clusters of beautiful, bell-shaped, violet-blue flowers. It is a charming and delicate addition to any woodland garden.
