Jacob's Ladder is mounding in form, making a beautiful groundcover for garden beds of woodland settings. Prefers moist, shady areas, but will tolerate full sunlight and drier areas. Long-blooming, its pale lavender-blue flowers grace delicate blue-green foliage.
Jacob's Ladder contrasts wonderfully against other perennials such as Foam Flower, Alumroon and Ostrich Fern. Flowers attract bees and butterflies.
