POLEMONIUM 'JACOB'S LADDER' LAMBROOK MAUVE

I love the combination of the pretty flowers and leaves of Polemoniums.  I bought a Lambrook Mauve polemonium the other day and have planted it in my back garden.  I hope it does well. 




Polemonium 'Jacobs Ladder'  Lambrook Mauve

The label says that Polemonium 'Jacobs Ladder'  Lambrook Mauve is a clump-forming, fully hardy plant with pretty mauve flowers that have an orange-yellow centre.  They appear in spring.  The plant regrows from ground level each year.  It has a height and spread of 45cm (18in).  It likes moist, fertile, well-draining soil in full sun or partial shade.  Cut back lightly after flowering to encourage more flowers.  This plant can be propagated by division in spring.





It also has lovely green, delicate-looking foliage.
