Often I like plants for their foliage as much as for their flowers. Sometimes the flowers are insignificant. In the case of Polemonium boreale 'Heavenly Habit' it has both interesting foliage and flowers. Polemoniums are commonly known as Jacob's Ladder. I have Heavenly Habit growing in a tiny bed right next to my garden swing. It's taller than the plants behind which may, or may not, be a mistake but plants can be dug up and replanted in autumn so no worries there.
